SwiftyDropBox Auth Hangs

I'm following the SwiftyDropbox documentation for my project, and have gotten as far as having my app switch to authenticating via web login thru safari but it just hangs there.

 

If I build on an actual device and have the Dropbox app, I log in without a problem but I want the safari / web login to work as well.

 

I've named my app the same in Xcode and Dropbox.

I'm using Alamofire (4.5.1) SwiftyDropbox (4.6.0), Xcode 9.4.1 Swift 4. Deployment target 10.1

Keychain sharing is on.

 

I don't see anything in output to show me where I'm going wrong:

 Podfile:

# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
  platform :ios, '10.1'

target 'Pic Droper' do
  # Comment the next line if you're not using Swift and don't want to use dynamic frameworks
  use_frameworks!

  # Pods for Pic Droper
  pod 'SwiftyDropbox'

end

In my app delegate I have the following with my actual api key replaced:

    func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
        
        DropboxClientsManager.setupWithAppKey("api-key-replaced")
        return true
    }

    // 2. Handle redirect back into SDK
    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("\nError In app delegate: \(description)\n")
            }
        }
        return true
    }

In my view controller I'm calling my auth this way:

    override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewDidAppear(true)
        authDropbox()
    }
    
    // 1. Begin the authorization flow
    func authDropbox() {
        DropboxClientsManager.authorizeFromController(
            UIApplication.shared,
            controller: self,
            openURL: { (url: URL) -> Void in
                UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: { (finished) in
                    if finished {print("finished")}
                })
        })
    }

Any ideas where I am going wrong?

Thanks so much - Wayne

  • I agree, the issue seems to have resolved itself for the time being. I am able to get a good login from both the browser and the DropBox app, from within my app...

     

    Using - 

    Alamofire (4.5.1) SwiftyDropbox (4.6.0), Xcode 9.4.1 Swift 4. Deployment target 10.1

    I was using the simulator and also and an actual device - iphoneX running 11.4.1

    We're getting the same problem in our production app that had been working until recently.

    The issue seems to be with webkit preventing cross-site-scripting between Dropbox and the Google reCAPTCHA system.

    Hopefully this is resolved soon as it is affecting users of our app.

        I'm having some trouble reproducing this. Can you let me know:
        - Are you still seeing this issue?
        - What specific version(s) of iOS are you seeing it on?
        - Are you seeing this in the simulator, or only on the physical devices?

        Thanks in advance!
