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 ...
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!!!!

Dropbox StaffThanks 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.)Hi Greg,
When I put a print statement directly after 'open url' and immediately before 'handleRedirectURL', the print statement is not executed (even after successfully authenticating to Dropbox and switching back to my app).
Is there any other debugging I can do?
- Greg-DBI just tried this with the same versions of SwiftyDropbox and iOS, and it is working properly for me. Unfortunately if it's not getting called at all, it sounds like an issue with iOS itself, so I can't offer much help, and you may need to debug this on Apple's side.
Can you check that you only have one `open url` definition though? If you have two by accident it may only call one of them.
