Re: Tokens only valid for 4 hours from app console

Dear community, dear GregDB,

 

is there a possibility in the SDK for swift to refresh the token in the background without manual involvement of the app user? Although my app is configured to provide a permanent token (!) the connection is interrupted after a certain while and the users of my app have to repeat the approval manually in the Dropbox application which leads to a lot of annoyance.

 

Before accessing dropbox I check the connectivity as follows:

 

 

if let client = DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient {
        client.files.listFolder(path: rootPfad).response {response, error in
            if let _ = error {
                ...
            } else {
                ...
            }
        }
    } else {
        connectDropbox(withRequest: Dropboxrequest.connect)
    }

 

 

and if there is no authorizedClient then I reconnect as follows:

 

 

func connectDropbox(withRequest request: Dropboxrequest) {
        dropboxrequest = request
        let scopeRequest = ScopeRequest(scopeType: .user, scopes: ["files.content.write", "files.content.read", "account_info.read"], includeGrantedScopes: true)
            DropboxClientsManager.authorizeFromControllerV2(
                UIApplication.shared,
                controller: self,
                loadingStatusDelegate: nil,
                openURL: { (url: URL) -> Void in UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil) },
                scopeRequest: scopeRequest
            )
    }

Yes, as long as you implement the authorization flow as shown, the SwiftyDropbox SDK will automatically handle the refresh process for you in the background, without any further manual user interaction required.

 

If something isn't working as expected, please show the steps you're following when seeing the issue and the unexpected error/output.
