Problem with using Generated access token to test using SwiftyDropbox

Question

I have followed the instructions on https://github.com/dropbox/SwiftyDropbox in an attempt to test the V2 API with my Swift desktop macOS App.  The only difference is that I am using the Swift_2_3 branch.

When inputting my "Generated access token", from my App page on my account, and compiling I get an error on this line:

let client = DropboxClient(accessToken: "GENERATED_ACCESS_CODE_HERE")

The error is "Connot convert value of type 'String' to expected argument type 'DropboxAccessToken'"

I've attempted to cast the string into the correct type but nothing is working.

The Swift 3 branch has the DropboxClient constructor just taking the access token as a string now, but the Swift 2.3 branch still requires a DropboxAccessToken object there. You can construct it like this:

DropboxClient.init(accessToken: DropboxAccessToken(accessToken:"ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE", uid:"USER_ID_HERE"))

Just use client instead of Dropbox.authorizedClient:

client.sharing.createSharedLinkWithSettings(...)
