Refresh token, where I can find an implementation example or tutorial?
Hi,
I need to update my app to support new OAuth code flow with PKCE/scopes and new short-lived tokens. For code flow with PKCE and scopes I see there is the new method "DBClientsManager.authorizeF...
If you use the SDK and implement the authorization flow as documented, i.e., using authorizeFromControllerV2, the SDK will actually automatically handle the short-lived access token and refresh token logic for you.
Sorry,
I missed some info: I am using the official Objective-C SDK from Dropbox available here:

Wow, good news :-) I'll try it as soon as possible.
Greg, thank you very much for your prompt answer.
PS: maybe you should add a clarification to the documentation :-)
I have made the described changes to the DBRoulette example app. And it doesn't automatically handle the refresh token. Perhaps I am doing something wrong. But once the short lived token has expired it gives a 401 with an expired_access_token error.
Perhaps you could update the example.
