dropbox-sdk-obj-c issue
Hi there!
I am new with your API but now I got a task to update it.
I am trying to migrate our app from API v1 to API v2 and this is like hopeless fighting.
First of all, we don't use any dependency manager. I tried to add as subfolder in our project and it failed to build. It complains about that some header files are not found.
Today I did it with Cocoa pod. It seems like it fixed problem and all headers are in.
But then I follow instructions from GET STARTED part on github and again a lot of troubles.
(https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-obj-c#handling-the-authorization-flow)
According to this guide I should use [DBClientsManager setupWIthKey:@<API_KEY>]
but xcode complains that there is no DBClientsManager class and suggets to use
DropboxClientsManager. I have replaced it.
Then when I try the authorization flow part Xcode again stops me and complains that openUrl is deprecated.
BTW, here https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-obj-c/api-docs/latest/ you can find DropboxClientsManager class but not DBClientsManager.
Could you please point me what I am doing wrong? Is any possibility to add
ObjectiveDropboxOfficial manually as framework? and what wrong with documentation?
Thanks
- Yes, using authorizedClient is the right way to check that.
And that's correct, the new SDK doesn't use DBRestClientDelegate or DBNetworkRequestDelegate.
To determine if an entry is a file or folder, you can use isKindOfClass to check the type, as shown here:

Thanks for the post! We don't currently offer the API v2 Objective-C SDK just as a framework file, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request. We highly recommend using a package manager, as it helps stay up to date with updates. You can find the three supported installation methods in the README here.
Also, thanks for pointing out the DBClientsManager/DropboxClientsManager issue! The documentation is just out of date. We'll get that fixed up. It should be DropboxClientsManager.
Finally, the openURL message should only be a warning, and not an error, correct? It shouldn't be preventing you from building the app. Let me know if not though.
Thanks for reply!
Ok, I will check there more. I have added ObjectiveDropboxOfficial and it works now, thank you =)
Yes, it is just warning and I still can build project.
I have some questions about its usage:
before we used [[DBSession sharedSession] isLinked] to check whether user is linked or not. Is any easy possibility to check it now?
I can check it with
[DropboxClientsManager authorizedClient];
!= nil || [DropboxClientsManager authorizedTeamClient] != nil) ?
Also DBRestClientDelegate and DBNetworkRequestDelegate - we don't need them now ?
I have searched some similar questions in the community but no success.
Before I used DBMetadata class - property isDirectory. How can check whether it DBFILESMetada is directory or not.
I see DBFILESMetada has name, pathLower, pathDisplay.
Is there an easy way (like isDirectory before) to check item type?
Sorry for simply questions - I am new with these API.
Thanks
