Swift API v2 and filesGetMetadata with a path of "/"

I am calling this from within an Application Context.

So "/" should be my App directory.

Two problems:

1) I get a server error reposponse: 

{"error_summary": "path/malformed_path", "error": {".tag": "path", "path": {".tag": "malformed_path"}}}

2)  When I get this error ... The Swift api fails to deserialize "malformed_path" 

   Called from Files.GetMetadataErrorSerializer:deserialize when it tries to deserialize the "path"

    I also get the error when I try to call filesListFolder with a path of "/"

    That solved the access problem. Does not make any sense to me ...  

    There is still an error handling problem which causes a fatal exit.

    What version of the SDK are you using? If it's not up to date, please update it and let us know if you're still seeing this. Thanks!

    I downloaded a couple of days ago using Cocoa Pods with tag '0.7'
