AWS v2.4.0 Release Notes

  • 🆕 New Features

    • SDK Core
      • (Breaking) Migrated from the static frameworks to the dynamic frameworks. The AWS Mobile SDK for iOS now supports iOS 8 and above due to this change. If you need iOS 7 support, continue using 2.3.x.
      • Added official support for Carthage. See README.md for more information.
      • Added support for the SDK configurations through Info.plist.
      • (Breaking) Updated the credentials provider and identity provider protocols to asynchronous interfaces instead of previous synchronous ones. The logins dictionary of AWSCognitoCredentialsProvider is now deprecated. Use AWSIdentityProviderManager to provide login providers' credentials. See AWSCredentialsProvider.h and AWSIdentityProvider.h for more details.
    • Amazon Cognito Identity Provider (Beta)
      • You can now use Amazon Cognito to easily add user sign-up and sign-in to your mobile and web apps. Your User Pool in Amazon Cognito is a fully managed user directory that can scale to hundreds of millions of users, so you don't have to worry about building, securing, and scaling a solution to handle user management and authentication. See AWSCognitoIdentityUserPool.h for more details.
    • AWS IoT
      • Added support for Amazon Cognito Identity with WebSocket connections, identity import, custom Keep-Alive and Last Will and Testament, and exponential back-off on reconnect.
    • Amazon DynamoDB
      • Added the attribute name override capability to AWSDynamoDBObjectMapper by implementing + JSONKeyPathsByPropertyKey in the model class.
