What problem does it solve?

This guide helps Swift developers adopt the AWS SDK for Swift to interact with AWS services using a consistent, typed client configuration and operation workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Async, typed service clients with struct-based config types to replace deprecated configuration classes.
  • Clear patterns for client creation, operation calls, and common tasks such as pagination and waiters.
  • Real-world example: building a Swift backend that interacts with multiple AWS services using the AWS SDK for Swift.

Quick Start

Install the AWS SDK for Swift and instantiate a service client to perform an operation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure an AWS SDK client in Swift using struct-based configs?

Yes, the AWS SDK for Swift handles pagination and waiters natively. It provides clear operation call patterns for common tasks, allowing your Swift backend to manage multi-page responses and wait for resource states efficiently.

What is the best way to manage multiple AWS service clients in a Swift backend?

Yes, the AWS SDK for Swift supports generating presigned URLs. The guide covers common workflows like presigned URLs alongside standard operation calls, allowing you to grant temporary access to AWS resources directly from your Swift code.

Can I use the AWS SDK for Swift with async workflows?

Yes, the AWS SDK for Swift is designed for async workflows. It provides async, typed service clients that integrate cleanly into Swift's concurrency model, enabling non-blocking AWS service operations in your backend or tooling.

Why should I use struct-based configs instead of configuration classes for AWS Swift clients?

You should use struct-based configs because configuration classes are deprecated. Structs provide a typed, safe configuration approach for AWS SDK Swift clients, ensuring correct initialization and preventing runtime errors during service operation calls.
