The BOX developer content is very fragmented and confusing, especially for new developers.  Does any one know where I can find tutorials or documentation for BOX integration in an iOS 10 app in Swift?  i've looked all over and cant find any thing. Thanks in advance

     Unfortunately, we don't have documentation in Swift for building a Box integration. We have an iOS SDK and documentation for it, but it is in Objective-C.

    Ok still having a problem downloading a file.  I'm getting a 404 error "not found", but the file is in my BOX.  Is the ID parameter supposed to be the name of the file I'm trying to download? I thing this is where by issue lies.  Any help would be much appreciated.  heres my code:

     

    let contentClient = BOXContentClient.default()
            let localFilePath: String = URL(fileURLWithPath: NSTemporaryDirectory()).appendingPathComponent("savedClients.data").absoluteString
            let boxRequest: BOXFileDownloadRequest? = contentClient?.fileDownloadRequest(withID: "savedClients.data", toLocalFilePath: localFilePath)
            boxRequest?.perform(progress: {(_ totalBytesTransferred: Int64, _ totalBytesExpectedToTransfer: Int64) -> Void in
                // Update a progress bar, etc.
            }, completion: {(_ error: Error?) -> Void in
                // Download has completed. If it failed, error will contain reason (e.g. network connection)
                if error == nil {
                    if let savedClientsData = FileManager.default.contents(atPath: localFilePath) {
                        if let model = NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchiveObject(with: savedClientsData) as? [ClientModel] {
                            self.savedClients = model
                            self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem?.isEnabled = true
                            self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem?.tintColor = UIColor.black
                        }
                    }
                } else {
                    print("BOX error: \(String(describing: error))")
                    let errorAlert = UIAlertController(title: "Error", message: "There was and error downloading Queue list.\n\(String(describing: error))", preferredStyle: .alert)
                    let dismiss = UIAlertAction(title: "Dismiss", style: .default, handler: nil)
                    errorAlert.addAction(dismiss)
                    self.present(errorAlert, animated: true, completion: nil)
                }
            })

    Hi Murtza,

     

    Can the iOS SDK initialize BoxClients with access tokens derived from the auth JWT protocol?
