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.

eweb I'll ask the team to update the DBRoulette example. I can't promise exactly when that would be done though, so in the meantime perhaps you can share what you have so far and I can take a look at see what the issue might be.
Possibly the simplest way to do that would be to fork the repo and push up my changes. Is that gonna help you.
