AWS SDK for iOS Changelog

What's new in AWS SDK for iOS 2.2.4

Aug 19, 2015
  • New Features:
  • Amazon S3 Transfer Utility (Beta) - Amazon S3 Transfer Utility for iOS (Beta) introduces an easier, more powerful way to transfer data between your iOS app and Amazon S3. We built this utility based on feedback from customers using the Amazon S3 Transfer Manager for iOS. Now you can transfer data in the background and upload binary data without saving it to a file first. This utility is currently available as beta and is included in the AWS Mobile SDK for iOS.
  • Download the SDK for iOS from our webpage and to learn how to use this utility, visit our blog.

  • Removed the AWS service JSON files and imported them as source files to simplify the initial SDK installation.
  • Amazon Mobile Analytics:
  • Amazon Mobile Analytics is now provided as an independent service, and not a part of the AWS Core anymore. To use Amazon Mobile Analytics, please import AWSMobileAnalytics.framework or add pod 'AWSMobileAnalytics' to your Podfile. You need to update #import to #import .

New in AWS SDK for iOS 2.1.1 (Apr 10, 2015)

  • New Features:
  • AWS Lambda - AWS Lambda is now included in the AWS Mobile SDK, making it easy to build mobile applications that use Lambda functions as their app backend. You can now create AWS Lambda functions that respond to events from your application in real time (synchronously) as well as asynchronously, making it easy for any application or web service to use Lambda to create back-end functionality. When invoked through the mobile SDK, the Lambda function automatically has access to data about the device, app, and end user identity, making it easy to create rich, personalized responses to in-app activity. To learn more about SDK support for Lambda, visit the AWS Mobile SDK page. To learn more about the new capabilities from Lambda, visit the What's new page for AWS Lambda.
  • Amazon Machine Learning - Amazon Machine Learning is a service that makes it easy for developers of all skill levels to use machine learning technology. This release adds Amazon Machine Learning support into AWS Mobile SDK for iOS. You can use the mobile SDK to retrieve Amazon ML model metadata, including the real-time endpoint URL, and to request real-time predictions from Amazon ML. To learn more about Amazon ML, visit http://aws.amazon.com/machine-learning.

  • When the request object is retained, `request.internalRequest` is not properly released after the operation completes.
  • The memory is not property released until all tasks finish when an app continuously downloads many files.

  • Addresses issues in AWSCognitoCredentialsProvider and Amazon S3 retry behavior.
  • Resolved Issues:
  • SDK Core:
  • Fixed a bug in AWSCognitoCredentialsProvider where identityId was set to pool id when using simplified constructors.
  • Fixed a bug in AWSCognitoCredentialsProvider where credentials were not saved in the keychain when using simplified constructors.

  • Amazon S3 - Fixed the issue where the SDK does not automatically retry for the SignatureDoesNotMatch exception.

New in AWS SDK for iOS 2.0.14 (Jan 22, 2015)

  • Introduces support for the enhanced AWSCognitoCredentialsProvider and Amazon DynamoDB Object Mapper. It also includes number of bug fixes.
  • New Features:
  • Enhanced AWSCognitoCredentialsProvider - Amazon Cognito now allows developers to save the association between IAM roles and an identity pool. Because this association is now saved in the service the credentials provider can be initialized without passing the IAM role ARNs. We have added a new constructor to the AWSCognitoCredentialsProvider that receives only the identity pool id and the AWS region. When no role ARNs are specified the service uses the default ones saved against the identity pool. Alternatively, developers can specify different roles in the constructor and override the default behavior of the service - these roles need to be configured to trust your identity pool. See the developer guide for further details on using roles.
  • Amazon DynamoDB Object Mapper - Added three new save behaviors: AWSDynamoDBObjectMapperSaveBehaviorUpdateSkipNullAttributes, AWSDynamoDBObjectMapperSaveBehaviorAppendSet, and AWSDynamoDBObjectMapperSaveBehaviorClobber.
  • Service definitions - Updated the service model classes for Amazon Auto Scaling, Amazon Cognito Identity, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon EC2, Amazon Kinesis, and Amazon S3. The Amazon DynamoDB client now supports Boolean, Null, List, and Map data types.
  • Resolved Issues:
  • SDK Core:
  • Add reset logic to AWSCognitoCredentialsProvider when identity id has become invalid.
  • Renamed reserved keywords in Swift, Objective-C, and C++ to non-reserved words.
  • Updated podspec to make it less restrictive with Mantle, UICKeyChainStore, and Reachability libraries.
  • Fixed the exponential back off logic.
  • Set the maximum maxRetryCount to 10.
  • Updated the copyright year from 2014 to 2015.
  • Amazon DynamoDB Object Mapper:
  • Fixed the - save: method (Update behavior) where the method failed to remove nil value attribute(s) from a table.
  • Fixed the silent failure issue with the - save: method.
  • Amazon EC2:
  • Fixed the issue in which a value of AWSEC2PlatformValues was not parsed correctly in the response.
  • Amazon S3:
  • Fixed the Amazon S3 date format issue.
  • Fixed a bug involving the potential for an invalid file URL to result in a crash.
  • Fixed the operation name mismatch issue.
