SwiftyDropbox SwiftUI iOS
Hey all,
I've tried to add the SwiftyDropbox package into my SwiftUI iOS project and followed the GitHub readme:
I updated the following files as recommended using my app key:
- Info.plist
- AppDelegate.swift
I got stuck when implementing the Authentication Flow in my ContentView.swift:
are there any simple example projects using SwiftyDropbox with SwiftUI?
I get
1. a warning: 'openURL' was deprecated in iOS 10.0
2. errors:
-canOpenURL: failed for URL: "dbapi-2://1/connect?k=[MY_APP_KEY_:)]=" - error: "The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -10814.)"
-canOpenURL: failed for URL: "dbapi-8-emm://1/connect?k=[MY_APP_KEY_:)]=" - error: "The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -10814.)"
[Presentation] Attempt to present <SwiftyDropbox.MobileSafariViewController: 0x15d00ea00> on <TestSwiftyDropbox.ViewController: 0x15be06540> (from <TestSwiftyDropbox.ViewController: 0x15be06540>) whose view is not in the window hierarchy.
ContentView.swift
struct ContentView: View {
var viewController = ViewController()
var body: some View {
VStack{
Text("Dropbox Test")
if DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient != nil {
Button(action: {
DropboxClientsManager.unlinkClients() // logout()
}, label: {
Text("Dropbox Logout")
})
} else {
Button(action: {
viewController.authenticate()
}, label: {
Text("Dropbox Login") // Authorization
})
}
}
}
}
class ViewController: UIViewController {
func authenticate() {
// a) Legacy authorization flow that grants a long-lived token.
DropboxClientsManager.authorizeFromController(UIApplication.shared,
controller: self,
openURL: { (url: URL) -> Void in
UIApplication.shared.openURL(url)
})
// b) New: OAuth 2 code flow with PKCE that grants a short-lived token with scopes.
// DropboxClientsManager.authorizeFromControllerV2(
// UIApplication.shared,
// controller: self,
// loadingStatusDelegate: nil,
// openURL: { (url: URL) -> Void in UIApplication.shared.openURL(url) },
// scopeRequest: scopeRequest
// )
}
}
Any hints are appreciated as I am new to UIKit and just implemented everything with SwiftUI!
Best regard,
Fleaurent

I have successfully authenticated authenticated with SwiftyDropbox using SwiftUI. I hope that this is useful.
Setup info.plist as the SwiftyDropbox readme instructs.
<app name>.swift
import SwiftUI import SwiftyDropbox @main struct DropboxTestApp: App { init() { DropboxClientsManager.setupWithAppKey("<app key>") } var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } } }
ContentView.swift
import SwiftUI import SwiftyDropbox struct ContentView: View { @State var isShown = false var body: some View { VStack { Button(action: { self.isShown.toggle() }) { Text("Login to Dropbox") } DropboxView(isShown: $isShown) Button { if let client = DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient { print("successful login") } else { print("Error") } } label: { Text("Test Login") } } .onOpenURL { url in let oauthCompletion: DropboxOAuthCompletion = { if let authResult = $0 { switch authResult { case .success: print("Success! User is logged into DropboxClientsManager.") case .cancel: print("Authorization flow was manually canceled by user!") case .error(_, let description): print("Error: \(String(describing: description))") } } } DropboxClientsManager.handleRedirectURL(url, completion: oauthCompletion) } } } struct DropboxView: UIViewControllerRepresentable { typealias UIViewControllerType = UIViewController @Binding var isShown : Bool func updateUIViewController(_ uiViewController: UIViewController, context: Context) { if isShown { let scopeRequest = ScopeRequest(scopeType: .user, scopes: ["account_info.read", "files.metadata.write", "files.metadata.read", "files.content.write", "files.content.read"], includeGrantedScopes: false) DropboxClientsManager.authorizeFromControllerV2( UIApplication.shared, controller: uiViewController, loadingStatusDelegate: nil, openURL: { (url: URL) -> Void in UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil) }, scopeRequest: scopeRequest) } } func makeUIViewController(context _: Self.Context) -> UIViewController { return UIViewController() } }
You do not need create an AppDelegate.

I found the following issue regarding SwiftyDropbox and SwiftUI:
I just removed the ScrollView which made Problems, and it seems to work:
struct ContentView : View { @State var isShown = false var body : some View { VStack { Text("HI!") Button(action: { self.isShown.toggle() }) { Text("Dropbox....") } DropboxView(isShown: $isShown) } } } struct DropboxView: UIViewControllerRepresentable { typealias UIViewControllerType = UIViewController @Binding var isShown : Bool func updateUIViewController(_ uiViewController: UIViewController, context: Context) { if isShown { DropboxClientsManager.authorizeFromController(UIApplication.shared, controller: uiViewController, openURL: { (url: URL) -> Void in UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil) }) } } func makeUIViewController(context _: Self.Context) -> UIViewController { return UIViewController() } }
--> the authorisation page of Dropbox opens and I can enter my credentials.
My next Problem: when I check the DropcoxClientsManager afterwards, it still contains nil
if DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient != nil {

Fleaurent,
Thank you for being a pioneer of Dropbox and SwiftUI. I've just started playing around with this kit in swiftUI and I'm wondering if you got past your last issue the client manager being nil? Thanks!

Has anyone been able to solve DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient always equal to nil with SwiftUI?

Unfortunately the SwiftyDropbox SDK wasn't built for or tested with SwiftUI, so we don't have any resources or examples for that. I'll pass this along as a request for official support for that, but I can't promise if/when that would be done.
