Getting Started Using the DropboxSDK for iOS: Requirements: 1. You need the 4.0 version of the iPhone SDK. The version of your XCode should be at least 3.2.3. 2. You need to have registered as a Dropbox application with mobile access at http://dropbox.com/developers. You should have a consumer key and secret. Step 1: Building and using the example app 1. Open the project file in examples/DBRoulette/DBRoulette.xcodeproj 2. Fill in the values for consumerKey and consumerSecret in DBRouletteAppDelegate.m application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: 3. Make sure the build is set to Simulator. This setting should be near the top-left corner of XCode. 4. Build and Run app 5. Once running, make sure you can use the app to login and view photos in your Photos Dropbox folder without getting errors. If you cannot run the app without getting errors, make sure your consumer key and consumer token are correct. Also make sure that your app has been approved by Dropbox for mobile access. Step 2: Adding DropboxSDK to your project 1. Open your project in XCode 2. Right-click on your project in the group tree in the left pane 3. Select Add -> Existing Files... 4. Navigate to where you uncompressed the Dropbox SDK and select the DropboxSDK subfolder 5. Select "Copy items into destination group's folder" 6. Make sure "Recursively create groups for any added folders" is selected 7. Press Add button 8. Find the Frameworks folder in your app's group tree in the left pane 9. Make sure the framework Security.framework is added to your project 10. If not, right-click on Frameworks and select Add -> Existing Frameworks... 11. Select Security.framework from the list and select Add 12. Build your application. At this point you should have no build failures or warnings Step 3: Login successfully in your app 1. In your application delegate's application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method, add the following code: DBSession* dbSession = [[[DBSession alloc] initWithConsumerKey:@"<YOUR CONSUMER KEY>" consumerSecret:@"<YOUR CONSUMER SECRET>"] autorelease]; [DBSession setSharedSession:dbSession]; Note: you will need to #import "DropboxSDK.h" at the top of this file 2. Somewhere in your app, add an event to launch the login controller, which should look something like this: - (void)didPressLink { DBLoginController* controller = [[DBLoginController new] autorelease]; [controller presentFromController:self]; } Note: you will need to #import "DropboxSDK.h" at the top of this file 3. Build and run your app 4. Find your link button in your app and press it 5. Go through the login flow. If you are able to login successfully without any errors you have successfully added the SDK to your project. Step 4: Using DBRestClient The DBRestClient is the way to make API calls from your application once the user has logged in. For a real example of how to use this object look at PhotoViewController.m in examples/DBRoulette/Classes. In general, to make api calls from an object you will do the following: 1. Add a DBRestClient* instance variable in your object's .h file: DBRestClient* restClient; Note: you will need to #import "DropboxSDK.h" at the top of this file 2. Create a getter method to allocate and initialize the restClient: - (DBRestClient*)restClient { if (!restClient) { restClient = [[DBRestClient alloc] initWithSession:[DBSession sharedSession]]; restClient.delegate = self; } return restClient; } 3. Make an request on the rest client: [[self restClient] loadMetadata:@"/"]; 3. Implement the DBRestClientDelegate methods needed to get the results of the particular call you made: - (void)restClient:(DBRestClient*)client loadedMetadata:(DBMetadata*)metadata { NSLog(@"Loaded metadata!"); } - (void)restClient:(DBRestClient*)client metadataUnchangedAtPath:(NSString*)path { NSLog(@"Metadata unchanged!"); } - (void)restClient:(DBRestClient*)client loadMetadataFailedWithError:(NSError*)error { NSLog(@"Error loading metadata: %@", error); } 4. Populate the delegate methods with appropriate handling 5. Refer to examples/DBRoulette/Classes/PhotoViewController.m for a more comprehensive example of using DBRestClient
