AWS SDK for Swift
Async Code Structure
All SDK operations are async. Use @main entry point:
CRITICAL: Use Struct Config Types
NEVER use S3ClientConfiguration or DynamoDBClientConfiguration - these are DEPRECATED classes.
ALWAYS use the struct-based config types:
S3Client.S3ClientConfig(not S3ClientConfiguration)DynamoDBClient.DynamoDBClientConfig(not DynamoDBClientConfiguration)STSClient.STSClientConfig(not STSClientConfiguration)
Config parameters MUST be in declaration order. Region is ALWAYS required when creating a config. Check the service client source for exact order.
Client Creation
All service clients follow the same pattern: <Service>Client with <Service>Client.<Service>ClientConfig.
Model types (structs/enums used in requests/responses) are namespaced under <Service>ClientTypes:
S3ClientTypes.Bucket,S3ClientTypes.ObjectDynamoDBClientTypes.AttributeValueCloudWatchClientTypes.MetricDatum,CloudWatchClientTypes.Dimension
Common config parameters (MUST follow declaration order):
-
awsCredentialIdentityResolver- Custom credentials -
useFIPS- Enable FIPS endpoints -
useDualStack- Enable dual-stack endpoints -
awsRetryMode- Retry strategy (.adaptive, .standard, .legacy) -
maxAttempts- Max retry attempts -
region- AWS region -
httpClientEngine- Custom HTTP client (requires HttpClientConfiguration parameter): -
endpoint- Custom endpoint URL
For service-specific config options or exact parameter order, check Sources/Services/AWS<Service>/Sources/AWS<Service>/<Service>Client.swift in the SDK.
Credential Resolvers
Waiters
Import SmithyWaitersAPI. WaiterOptions requires maxWaitTime parameter:
