SwiftyDropBox Auth flow issue
I'm following the SwiftyDropbox documentation for my project, and have gotten as far as having my app switch to authenticating via the Dropbox app and switching back into my app.
However, the
application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool function is not being called. When I try to initialize a client via
DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient, the client is nil.
The setupWithAppKey is in my AppDelegate, as is the above-referenced function. I know things are partially working, since when I trigger authorizeFromController, I don't get a login prompt from the Dropbox app - just an Allow button.
Any ideas what I'm missing or doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Greg
Greg, that was the issue! Thanks kindly, and I wish I'd noticed that myself so I could have saved us both some time. Oy!!!!

Thanks for the report! Can you share:
- the version number of SwiftyDropbox you're using
- the version(s) of iOS you're seeing this with
- the exact `open url` code you have in your app delegate
Thanks in advance!Thanks for the quick reply, Greg.
SwiftyDropbox version: 4.3.0
iOS version: 11.2.2
'open URL' code (identical to reference code):
func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool { if let authResult = DropboxClientsManager.handleRedirectURL(url) { switch authResult { case .success: print("Success! User is logged into Dropbox.") case .cancel: print("Authorization flow was manually canceled by user!") case .error(_, let description): print("Error: \(description)") } } return true }- Greg-DBThanks! That looks correct. So to clarify, are you sure `open url` itself isn't getting called, or does it appears `handleRedirectURL` isn't working properly?
To check, please add some logging immediately inside `open url` (i.e., before `handleRedirectURL`). If it does get called, it would help to log and post the `open url` parameters for reference. (Just be sure to redact secret values, such as an access token.)
