Research direction

Start at android/src/main/java/com/dropbox/core/android/AuthActivity.kt around line 216 and trace the tokenRequest.execute().get() call during the browser login return. Reproduce the black screen and connection timeout, then verify that the token request no longer blocks the UI thread and the login flow returns without the delay.
