SwiftyDropbox
I am attempting to integrate Dropbox into my SwiftUI project. In the AppDelegate func(application...) I am getting an error stating that setupWithAppKey(<APP_KEY>) is not a member type of DropboxClient Manager. Any ideas on how to resolve>

Hi Mull999,
I'll be happy to help with any issues you're having with the Dropbox Swift SDK, but I'll need some more information. Please reply with:
- the name and version of the platform and SDK/library you are using
- the steps to reproduce the issue, including relevant code snippet(s), but don't include any access or refresh token(s)
- the full text of any error or unexpected output- Mull999Explorer | Level 3
Hi iNeil
Thanks for responding. I should say at the outset that I am a hobby coder and very much in learning mode. I have a shopping list app that works as intended and now I want to be able to file the data as backup using my Dropbox files. So I have started to build a test app to learn how to get access to Dropbox through a SwiftUI app. I read the advice given on Github SwiftyDropbox version10.0. and implemented the requirements
I successfully attached the package SwiftyDropbpox 10.0.7 to my test app. However I get an error in my AppDelegate, as follows:-
func application(_application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: DropboxClientsManager.setupWithAppKey("<APP_KEY>") -> Bool { return true }
The error says setupWithAppKey is not a member type of DropboxClientsManager.
The app fails at that point so I have not got further into testing. However, I am thinking perhaps the SwiftyDropbox package is not compatible with SwiftUI.
I hope you can offer some advice.

Thanks for following up. It should be possible to use SwiftyDropbox in a SwiftUI project. The SwiftyDropbox readme does have some notes throughout about how to use it in SwiftUI.
For reference, how did you install the SwiftyDropbox package?
Also, do you have 'import SwiftyDropbox' in your AppDelegate?
Finally, is that the actual 'func application...' code you have? It looks like it may be a copy/paste mistake, as it doesn't appear to be a valid definition (e.g., it's missing a ")", etc.). I believe it should look something like this:
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool { DropboxClientsManager.setupWithAppKey("<APP_KEY>") return true }
