0.1.0.2
The AWS SDK for iOS provides a library, code samples, and documentation for developers to build connected applications for iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch devices using Amazon Web Services.
Example applications include:
- A media application that uploads photos, videos, and more to Amazon S3 for world-wide distribution through Amazon CloudFront.
- A social game that shares moves, high scores, and other data between devices using Amazon SimpleDB.
- A messaging client that broadcasts messages between devices using Amazon SQS and Amazon SNS, without requiring any additional server infrastructure.
Benefits
With the AWS SDK for iOS, software developers can now take advantage of AWS infrastructure services directly in their mobile applications, rather than having to build additional server infrastructure to manage access to AWS, including:
- Storage - Store and retrieve any amount of data using Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).
- Database - Add a highly available, scalable, and flexible non-relational data store using Amazon SimpleDB with little or no administrative burden.
- Messaging - Integrate reliable, highly scalable mobile-to-mobile communication into applications using Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS), and Amazon Simple Notifications Service (Amazon SNS).
Features
The SDK includes:
- AWS iOS Library—Build mobile applications for the iOS on top of APIs that take the complexity out of coding directly against a web service interface. The library provides APIs that hide much of the lower-level plumbing, including authentication, request retries, and error handling.
- Code Samples—Practical examples for how to use the library to build applications.
- Documentation—Reference documentation demonstrating how to use the SDK.
- Credential Management—Protect your AWS account with a number of solutions for managing your security credentials in a mobile application.
