Downloading in the background in iOS (Swift)

Hello, Greg!
I have new information regarding my question. On what do you run the code on a real device or on the Xcode simulator? I've always tested on a real device and was getting this issue. I decided to test it on the simulator and was very surprised that the download works fine on it. I also noticed that when I run the code on a real device - I get this issue, but if I then click to download another file, then I'll see that the first file is immediately downloaded, as if it had already been downloaded, but the completion handler didn't work.
What could be the issue? Why does it work fine on the simulator?
P.S. This issue happens only in case when device connected to the PC (Xcode), when I run app without connection to the PC the download works fine.

Dropbox StaffOk, in that case we'll have to look into it further.
I do still recommend adding some more logging though. The comparison with Google Drive may not be exactly representative since that may use a different mechanism than the Dropbox SDK.

I've been testing on a physical device. I've also had it connected to my computer though, to receive the output in Xcode. I'm not sure why that would interfere in your case, but I'm glad to hear it is working for you otherwise.
