Reading this discussion makes it only worse: They had no idea what they were doing when building a Swift-only SDK.

Obviously @dropboxapi gives a shit about iOS. Migrating to API v2 without even the ability(!) to call it from Obj-C. https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2016/04/announcing-the-v1-to-v2-migration-guide/ …

@macguru17@olemoritz The fact that their own document provider still doesn’t support “open” mode isn’t a great sign, either. -
@agiletortoise@olemoritz but that may also be partly the fault of the document provider API. It seems broken, only few get it working… -
@macguru17@olemoritz Possible, but I have no doubt Apple engineers would have worked with such a big player to help sort that out. -
@agiletortoise@olemoritz true. They would had to have really wanted it. But iirc then@BoxHQ is the only one our users find reliable.

@macguru17 it’s Swift, why can’t it be called from Obj-C? -
@timonus behause it doesn't inherit from NSObject and uses parametrized enums. Which the devs love too much to make their SDK usable. - View other replies

@macguru17 fun fact: I started working on an Obj-C Dropbox lib for v2 last night because of this blog post -
@timonus cool. Let me know when there's something to share or contribute to! - View other replies

@timonus this looks great. Will check it out!

@macguru17 I can understand that they want to modernize their API but deprecating it for Obj-C users is rude. -
@UIMarcel the API is a different game from the SDK. Doing it swift-only with additional 3rd party dependencies is not rude. It's dumb. - View other replies

@macguru17 They basically show the middle finger to everyone who’s using their SDK in their apps right now. -
@UIMarcel well. If that even were the case. But they just had no idea what they were doing:https://twitter.com/macguru17/status/719798897539846145 …Reading this discussion makes it only worse: They had no idea what they were doing when building a Swift-only SDK. https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/204715229-To-use-API-v2-in-iOS-platform-we-need-an-objective-C-version … -
@macguru17 Yep, that’s simply embarrassing.

@macguru17@dropboxapi well…seems it’s not about iOS but Objective-C, no? - View other replies

@christian_beer@macguru17@dropboxapi „for prog languages that are not YET supported“ Sounds v1 will not be dep. before V2 covers ObjC? -
@planetexpress69@christian_beer Read the comment by Ari: Just linking Swift is *not* an option for many, many apps.https://twitter.com/macguru17/status/719798897539846145 …Reading this discussion makes it only worse: They had no idea what they were doing when building a Swift-only SDK. https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/204715229-To-use-API-v2-in-iOS-platform-we-need-an-objective-C-version …

@macguru17@dropboxapi They cared enough to rewrite it in a new programming language. -
@cargath@dropboxapi developing against the community is not caring imo.
