Problem with using Generated access token to test using SwiftyDropbox
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(...)

Thanks for that help. That pushed me along a little further. I'm trying to retrieve a public shared link for a folder. This is what I have so far:
var client = DropboxClient.init(accessToken: DropboxAccessToken(accessToken:"ACESS_TOKEN", uid:"UID_NUMBER")) Dropbox.authorizedClient?.sharing.createSharedLinkWithSettings(path: dropboxItemName).response({ response, error in if let link = response { print("link.url: " + link.url) } else { print("error: ") print(error!) } })Unfortunately I'm not getting anything from either "print" statement in the "if" statement in the Dropbox.authorizedClient statement. Any suggestions? Am I missing something here?
