Xcode swiftydropbox setup

Hey,

 

Has anyone been able to set up Swiftydropbox without any user prompt ? I dont know the order or what needs to be called. I don't want the user to have to set up any login. Any quick breakdowns on the process for me to use a refresh key and app key in order to get the access token without a user prompt would be amazing

 

Thank you !

    It's not possible to skip the app authorization flow and gain access to the end-user's account. In order for the app to access the user's account, the user needs to grant the app access to their account. This only needs to be done manually once per app-account pair.

        The API was designed with the intention that each user would link their own Dropbox account, in order to interact with their own files. While it is technically possible to always connect to just one account for all users, we do not officially support this, for various technical and security reasons.
