Dropbox api v2 null - Do you want to allow this page to open “(null)”?
What would be causing my app to show "null" when running a Mac OS app called "ezReceiptMac" ? It is pointing to an existing Dropbox APP ID called "ezReceipt". My Mac OS app is sandboxed and has "Incoming" and "Outgoing" connections enabled. What else am I missing here?
ezReceipt would like access to its own folder, Apps › ezReceipt, inside your Dropbox. Learn more Cancel Allow Do you want to allow this page to open “(null)”?
If I choose "Allow" no redirect occurs.
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure off hand what may be causing this. Can you share a screenshot showing this so I can make sure I understand exactly what you're seeing and try to reproduce it? Thanks in advance!- When I try to connect my sandboxed Mac OS app called “ezReceiptMac” using my existing Dropbox APP ID for an app called “ezReceipt” the prompt shows “null” for the app’s name.I guess I would expect it to read: Do you want to allow this page to open “ezReceiptMac”.
At this point when I click “Allow” it appears that the user does get logged into Dropbox but there is no indication of that other than in the Xcode console. Shouldn’t this action redirect the user back to the app from the browser after clicking “Allow”?2017-01-12 10:32:52.656498 ezReceiptMac[14086:157708] DBSDKReachability Flag Status: R ------- networkStatusForFlags2017-01-12 10:32:59.958434 ezReceiptMac[14086:157708] -[AppDelegate handleAppleEvent:withReplyEvent:] FIRED!2017-01-12 10:33:00.049900 ezReceiptMac[14086:157708] Success!

Can you share your plist file? That controls how your app is registered for this. In particular, for the null app name issue, I think CFBundleIdentifier may be relevant.
