Use AWS SDK

AWS will end support for Amazon Pinpoint on October 30, 2026,, and is no longer accepting any new users as of May 20 (see the linked doc). The guidance is to use AWS End User Messaging for push notifications and SMS, Amazon Simple Email Service for sending emails, Amazon Connect for campaigns, journeys, endpoints, and engagement analytics. Pinpoint recommends Amazon Kinesis for event collection and mobile analytics.

For advanced use cases where Amplify does not provide the functionality, you can retrieve the escape hatch to access the underlying Amazon Pinpoint client.

Add the following import:

import AWSPinpointAnalyticsPlugin

Then retrieve the escape hatch with this code:

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)")
}
