Requests fail if client secret isn't added when using the javascript sdk
I'm implementing the pkce flow correctly, I'm creating a dropbox object and adding the app key and refresh token, but when trying to use the check app method it will throw an exception with the error...
This is the expected behavior if attempting checkApp without an app secret; the checkApp method validates the app key and secret by calling /2/check/app which uses "App Authentication", which does require the app key and secret. So, that will fail without the app secret.
If you want to check the validity of the access token, use checkUser instead.
