When I try to get a list of files I get a nil in response (Swift 5)
I have a simple method where I want to get a list of the user's files. I took the implementation of this method from your PhotoWatch example. I also added a print at each step to track each step. But...
You just need to create the ScopeRequest object before calling the authorizeFromControllerV2 method.
As for the error, make sure you're only calling the authorizeFromControllerV2 method once. In your screenshot, I see you're calling authorizeFromControllerV2, and then are also calling a method of your own called "openDropboxAutorization". Are you also calling an authorize method from inside "openDropboxAutorization" by any chance?

Dropbox StaffWhen enabling a new scope for an app, make sure you click the "Submit" at the bottom of the page, or else the changes won't take effect.
And, when configuring the app authorization flow, be sure to specify the particular scopes you want to request. When using SwiftyDropbox, that's done by making a ScopeRequest object with the desired scopes in the "scopes" parameter, and passing that to authorizeFromControllerV2 as shown here. That example only includes "account_info.read", but you would want to add "files.metadata.read" to that list, for example.
At what moment should I create a ScopeRequest object?
I try to do this in the Action of the Login button, but at the time of authorization after clicking Alloy, I receive an Error: Optional("Auth flow failed because of inconsistent state.")

Yes, you are right, I created ScopeRequest twice. Sorry for my carelessness. I finally got a list of files! I am very glad)) Thank you very much for your help!
