<!-- Platform: swift -->
For advanced use cases where Amplify does not provide the functionality, you can retrieve an escape hatch to access the underlying Amazon Pinpoint client.

Add the following import:

```swift
import AWSPinpointAnalyticsPlugin
```

Then retrieve the escape hatch with this code:

```swift
do {
    // Retrieve the reference to AWSPinpointAnalyticsPlugin
    let plugin = try Amplify.Analytics.getPlugin(for: "awsPinpointAnalyticsPlugin")
    guard let analyticsPlugin = plugin as? AWSPinpointAnalyticsPlugin else {
        return
    }

    // Retrieve the reference to PinpointClientProtocol
    let pinpointClient = analyticsPlugin.getEscapeHatch()

    // Make requests using pinpointClient...
    // ...
} catch {
    print("Get escape hatch failed with error - \(error)")
}
```
