Short-lived token migration in Swift producing nil Client
I'm migrating an old Swift app to SwiftyDropbox 6.0.3 and short-lived tokens with refresh; our app needs offline access. But with the code changes, I'm getting odd behaviour -- the completion handle...

I think I've resolved it -- I'm still not sure why it was interfering with that URL scheme in the main program, but that may be down to the Group Container settings which lump the app and the Finder Sync extension together for communication purposes!
The source of the problem was that the Finder Sync extension was trying to connect to the socket on *its* main thread, and taking a full minute to fail. By moving the connection attempt off of the main DispatchQueue onto a low-priority one, the problem with Dropbox not being able to get through to the main program vanished.
Strange, but hey, if it works...!

The app authorization page in the browser connects back to the native app using a custom URL scheme, which the app sets in its plist file, from this step in the setup documentation. Specifically, it's the "db-<APP_KEY>" set in CFBundleURLSchemes under CFBundleURLTypes. (The Dropbox web page knows to redirect back to a URL using that URL scheme, which opens the app.)
I'm not familiar with Finder Sync extensions, but is there any reason it might be interfering with that URL scheme?
