Dropbox StaffRobert S.138 Mark R.5 If you’ve already updated your app, this traffic may be coming from users still on an old version of your app. You may want to notify your users to update to the latest version of the app. We don't have a way to simulate the change, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. If you'd like additional help verifying this, feel free to open an API ticket from the account that owns the app(s) in question and we may be able to offer some help.
Can you at least confirm that the following is sufficient for avoiding the deprecated protocols:
In the Android version of our app, the build.gradle file under the app folder contains:
dependencies {
. . . .
implementation 'com.dropbox.core:dropbox-core-sdk:3.1.5'
. . . .
}
and in the iOS version of our app, all the files in all the subdirectories of:
Pods/ObjectiveDropboxOfficial
have a file date of 11/3/2020.
If it is not sufficient, tell me what else I could check.

Robert S.138 Yes, Java SDK v3.1.5 is sufficient. And likewise a version of the Objective-C SDK from late 2020 would also be sufficient.
Hi Greg. It would be good to clarify the exact versions involved here for various SDKs. Just to recap what the original email sent out in Aug 2021 said:
1) SDKs over two years old may need updating (so I presume from Aug 2019 and earlier).
2) The Java and Python SDKs have specific versions that need updating to
Based on that I had no concerns since I was not using an SDK that old, and was not using either of the SDKs mentioned. So I am a little surprised to see you mention that the Obj-C SDK may need updating to late 2020, since this is obviously later than 2019, and the SDK was not mentioned in the original email. Could you please clarify what is the exact minimum version number of the SDK required to update to for the following versions of the SDK:
1) Objective-C
2) .NET
Many thanks.

Mark R.5 Thanks for the feedback. To clarify, I was not indicating that one would be required to update to an Objective-C SDK from late 2020. Rather, I was responding to Robert's specific question and confirming that such as version should be sufficient. I don't have specific versions of the Objective-C and .NET SDK to note. The system should automatically use the latest available version. The Java and Python SDKs were only called out in particular since those were more recent and contained code that would affect the version used. If you need help confirming anything for your app(s) in particular, please open an API ticket.
We are currently updating our apps to comply this change. But development, testing and user update will take much more time. We ask Dropbox to extent the deadline.
Thanks for the consideration.
