Use AWS SDK

Amplify iOS v1 is deprecated as of June 1st, 2024. No new features or bug fixes will be added. Dependencies may become outdated and potentially introduce compatibility issues.

Please use the latest version (v2) of Amplify Library for Swift to get started. Refer to the upgrade guide for instructions on upgrading your application to the latest version.

Amplify libraries should be used for all new cloud connected applications. If you are currently using the AWS Mobile SDK for iOS, you can access the documentation here.

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 imports:

import AWSPinpointAnalyticsPlugin // Imports the Amplify plugin interface
import AWSPinpoint // Imports the AWSPinpoint client escape hatch
import AmplifyPlugins // Imports the Amplify plugin interface
import AWSPinpoint // Imports the AWSPinpoint client escape hatch

Then retrieve the escape hatch with this code:

func getEscapeHatch() {
do {
let plugin = try Amplify.Analytics.getPlugin(for: "awsPinpointAnalyticsPlugin") as! AWSPinpointAnalyticsPlugin
let awsPinpoint = plugin.getEscapeHatch()
} catch {
print("Get escape hatch failed with error - \(error)")
}
}
