TICoreDataSync with dropbox SDK giving 'path not found' error

Question

I've followed the tutorial found here to set up my app for dropbox sync. When i start the app, thus starting sync, i get this:

[WARNING] DropboxSDK: error making request to /1/metadata/dropbox/com.timisted.notebook - Path '/com.timisted.notebook' not found

[WARNING] DropboxSDK: error making request to /1/metadata/dropbox/com.timisted.notebook/Documents/Notebook - Path '/com.timisted.notebook/Documents/Notebook' not found

And a list of similar errors.

Any ideas what the cause of this is, and how I could fix it?

EDIT: I tried this with the example app provied with TICoreDataSync, using my credentials, and it accepted the credentials but it didn't work.

Answer 1

We recently released version 1.0.2 of the framework along with updated documentation, example apps, and tutorials on the project wiki. Check it out and if you run into any snags open an issue on the project's Issues page

Answer 2

I've found you can typically ignore these messages. TICoreDataSync will try and make the request and then if it fails, it will create the folder and continue.

Here are the changes I had to make to get iOSNotebook to run:

1. Dropbox wouldn't let me create an app called “iOSNotebook” as it was already taken (no surprises there :)). So I changed the name of the Xcode project and target to iOSNotebookCA along with the TICDSDropboxSDKBasedApplicationSyncManager's globalAppIdentifier to @"com.timisted.iOSNotebookCA"

2. Next I had to change Build Settings > Build Active Architectures Only = Yes

3. I changed the deployment target to 5.1 so I could avoid having all test devices running 6.0 (optional)

4. I also had to change the info.plist file's URL string to reflect the Dropbox key assigned to my iOSNotebookCA (db-blahblahblah).

5. And changed the DBSession root to kDBRootAppFolder
