How to setup DropBox SDK in Xcode

Original dropbox ios tutorial: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/start/setup#ios

1. create a dropbox app on https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps 2. download the dropbox sdk: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/sdk

• once downloaded, drag and drop the 'DropboxSDK.framework' onto your OF xcode project
• make sure you check the 'copy items into destination group's folder' checkbox.

3. add the 'Security.framework' to your OF xcode project

• Under TARGETS > ofxDropBoxExample, under the 'Build Phases' tab, where it says 'Link binary with libraries', click '+' and select the 'Security.framework'.

4. copy your dropbox app key + secret from dropbox website

• ref: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/start/authentication#ios

5. Edit the ofxiphone-info.plist in your OF xcode project (right click open as source code)

• make sure the UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend is set to false
• Add the 'plist code' below at the top after the first <dict> tag and replace 'db-APP_KEY' with your app key eg. 'db-n0vfoe7o3a5bmtz'.

6. If testing with the ofxDropBoxExample project. Remember to copy 'test.jpg' to your DropBox/Apps/YourApp folder otherwise the download won't work. 7. That should be it. See the example testApp to see how to connect, upload, and download using ofxDropBox.

plist code

// ofxiphone-info.plist <key>CFBundleURLTypes</key> <array> <dict> <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key> <array> <string>db-APP_KEY</string> </array> </dict> </array>

Sample usage

// setup ofxDropBox* dropBox = new ofxDropBox(); string appKey = "APP_KEY"; string appSecret = "APP_SECRET"; dropBox->startSession(appKey, appSecret); if(!dropBox->isAuthenticated) dropBox->linkAccount();

// download file from your dropbox to phone dropBox->downloadFile("test.jpg"); dropBox->downloadFile("blah.jpg");

// upload from phone data folder to dropbox dropBox->uploadFile("Default.png"); dropBox->uploadFile("sample.csv");

See example project for usage.
