Re: [O] Dropbox integration suddenly stopped working with Mobile-Org

[Matthew Jones]

I'm the developer of the Android version of MobileOrg... and you, and the developers of the IOS app, should be aware that they retired the old version of their api and shut it off sometime in December or January... that could be what's keeping it from working.  It's just a guess... I had to release a new version of MobileOrg for Android in December to update it to use the new api.

The same thing has just happened to me.  I've been using org-mode for
years, org-mobile on my iPhone for a couple of years (I suspect) and on
an Android tablet for about a year.  I went away on holiday a week ago
and had no net access, when I came back I tried to synch. the iPhone app

and I get the same error.

Dropbox integration from other iPhone apps still works fine, as does
browsing via safari.

Happens on my phone running iOS 6.0.1 and 6.1 (updated some time this
afternoon)
