Amplify Library for Swift

AWS Amplify provides a declarative and easy-to-use interface across different categories of cloud operations. Our default implementation works with Amazon Web Services (AWS), but AWS Amplify is designed to be open and pluggable for any custom backend or service.

The Amplify Library for Swift is layered on the AWS SDK for Swift, which was released as Developer Preview last year. This allows for access to the AWS SDK for Swift for a breadth of service-centric APIs.

Features/APIs

Analytics - for logging metrics and understanding your users.
API (GraphQL) - for adding a GraphQL endpoint to your app.
API (REST) - for adding a REST endpoint to your app.
Authentication - for managing your users.
DataStore - for making it easier to program for a distributed data store for offline and online scenarios.
Geo - for adding location-based capabilities to your app.
Predictions - for connecting your app with machine learning services.
Push Notifications - for integrating push notifications in your app.
Storage - store complex objects like pictures and videos to the cloud.

Platform Support

Platform	Versions	Support Level
iOS	13+	GA
macOS	10.15+	GA
tvOS	13+	GA
watchOS	7+	GA
visionOS	1+	Preview*

To use Amplify Swift with visionOS, you'll need to target the visionos-preview branch. For more information, see Platform Support on the visionos-preview branch.

Semantic versioning

We follow semantic versioning for our releases.

Semantic versioning and enumeration cases

When Amplify adds a new enumeration value, we will publish a new minor version of the library.

Applications that evaluate all members of an enumeration using a switch statement can add a default case to prevent new cases from causing compile warnings or errors.

Installation

Amplify requires Xcode 14.1 or higher to build for iOS and macOS. Building for watchOS and tvOS requires Xcode 14.3 or higher.

For more detailed instructions, follow the getting started guides in our documentation site

Swift Package Manager

Swift Package Manager is distributed with Xcode. To start adding the Amplify Libraries to your iOS project, open your project in Xcode and select File > Add Packages.
Enter the Amplify Library for Swift GitHub repo URL (https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-swift) into the search bar.
You'll see the Amplify Library for Swift repository rules for which version of Amplify you want Swift Package Manager to install. Choose Up to Next Major Version and enter 2.0.0 as the minimum version for the Dependency Rule, then click Add Package.
Choose which of the libraries you want added to your project. Always select the Amplify library. The "Plugin" to install depends on which categories you are using:
- API: AWSAPIPlugin
- Analytics: AWSPinpointAnalyticsPlugin
- Auth: AWSCognitoAuthPlugin
- DataStore: AWSDataStorePlugin
- Geo: AWSLocationGeoPlugin
- Storage: AWSS3StoragePlugin
Select all that are appropriate, then click Add Package.

You can always go back and modify which SPM packages are included in your project by opening the Package Dependencies tab for your project: Click on the Project file in the Xcode navigator, then click on your project under the Project section, then select the Package Dependencies tab.

In your app code, explicitly import a plugin when you need to add a plugin to Amplify, access plugin options, or access a category escape hatch.

import Amplify
import AWSCongitoAuthPlugin
import AWSAPIPlugin
import AWSDataStorePlugin

// ...

func initializeAmplify() {
    do {
        try Amplify.add(AWSCognitoAuthPlugin())
        try Amplify.add(AWSAPIPlugin())
        try Amplify.add(AWSDataStorePlugin())
        // and so on ...
        try Amplify.configure()
    } catch {
        assertionFailure("Error initializing Amplify: \(error)")
    }
}

If you're just accessing Amplify category APIs (e.g., Auth.signIn() or Storage.uploadFile()), you only need to import Amplify:

import Amplify

// ...

func signIn() async throws {
    let signInResult = try await Amplify.Auth.signIn(...)
    // ...
}

Escape Hatch

All services and features not listed in the Features/API sectios are supported via the Swift SDK or if supported by a category can be accessed via the Escape Hatch like below:

import Amplify
import AWSS3StoragePlugin
import AWSS3

// ...

guard let plugin = try Amplify.Storage.getPlugin(for: "awsS3StoragePlugin") as? AWSS3StoragePlugin else {
    print("Unable to to cast to AWSS3StoragePlugin")
    return
}

let awsS3 = plugin.getEscapeHatch()

let accelerateConfigInput = PutBucketAccelerateConfigurationInput()
do {
    let accelerateConfigOutput = try await awsS3.putBucketAccelerateConfiguration(
        input: accelerateConfigInput
    )
    print("putBucketAccelerateConfiguration output: \(accelerateConfigOutput)")
} catch {
    print("putBucketAccelerateConfiguration error: \(error)")
}
