What is the call for logout from current Dropbox account?
What is the call for logout from current Dropbox account?
I followed exactly same procedure to configure my project using SwiftyDropbox.
I have called this to logout button in my code:
...
- That's correct, the unlinkClients method clears the access tokens stored by the SDK, but it does not sign the user of the Dropbox web site in the browser. (The API access tokens are separate from the web site session.)
The user can sign out (and sign back in, if they want) manually on the web site. Or, if necessary, the app can direct them to https://www.dropbox.com/logout .
Isn't this a bug/security hole? It seems like a major leak in the abstraction. (The fact is that I shouldn't know anything about the web). FWIW, the BoxSDK gets this right. If you destroy the client, you have to reauth everytime. I am not sure how to "direct the user" to a URL since it is not like I am using a web client. At least directly. I will try some random stuff but it would be useful if you could post some sample code here. Thanks!
I believe the correct fix is to implement the auth flow using ASWebAuthenticationSession.
What I am doing now is creating a `SFSafariViewController`, hitting https://www.dropbox.com/logout and when that page loads immediately start `DropboxClientsManager.authorizeFromController`. There is a visual artifact of seeing a logout screen but at least it works.
