Creating a shared link to file using SwiftyDropbox

Question

Related question

While trying to use Dropbox SwiftyDropbox for creating a shared link for my file I always get the error:

Bad Input: Error in call to API function "sharing/create_shared_link": request body: could not decode input as JSON

I have created an App Folder and I can successfully write files to my Dropbox. All attempts on calling the methods in Dropbox.authorizedClient!.sharing generate this error. Does anyone have any idea to why?

This is a known issue in SwiftyDropbox 2.0.3, and I can reproduce the error output you get using 2.0.3. The same code works properly for me in 2.0.2 though. I would double check that you downgraded to 2.0.2 successfully. For example, either of these specs will give you 2.0.3:

platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!

pod 'SwiftyDropbox'

or

platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!

pod 'SwiftyDropbox', '~> 2.0.2'

Instead, you can explicitly specify 2.0.2 as such for now:

platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!

pod 'SwiftyDropbox', '2.0.2'

Then, run pod update to get that version. The output from pod update will indicate what version was used.
