Dropbox integration suddenly stopped working with Mobile-Org

Dropbox integration suddenly stopped working with Mobile-Org

[Benjamin Alexander]

Hello all!

I've been a happy (!) user of Mobile-Org for some time now, on the iPhone, and a
few months ago I switched to Dropbox integration.  Things have gone fine until
today when I synced for the first time in a week or so.  The Dropbox password
that was saved, and had worked fine (and still works from the web interface)
simply gives an error message from within the "Settings" page of Mobile-Org. 

Dropbox Error
Bad username and password or network error.

The strange thing is, the Dropbox app works fine.  So it isn't a network problem
(at least, not a simple case of being offline). And I've tried retyping the
password, with and without a terminating <return> as the known issue from the
Mobile-Org web page suggests.  The files are still on Dropbox and I can still
push and pull (though there is nothing new to pull) from within emacs.

I'm really stumped.  I don't even know where to look on the iPhone for log
messages.  I've even tried using my old phone (which was configured to use my
now discontinued webdav server) using dropbox and I get the same error.

My current phone is running iOS 6.0.1 (10A523). I have not installed the new iOS
update yet.  I am considering doing that to see if it helps, but I know I can't
roll it back.

I've also considered deleting mobile-org and reinstalling, but I'm worried that
mobile-org isn't in the App store anymore so I may lose all functionality!

Does anyone have any suggestions?  I would really appreciate it.

Best Wishes,
Ben

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)

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.
