In February, we announced a 40% reduction in the DEX method count for the AWS Mobile SDK for AndroidTM. Since then, we have continued to optimize the SDK further so you can avoid hitting the maximum limit of 65K DEX methods imposed by Android. On 4/9/2015, we released version 2.2.0 that achieves another 40% reduction (a ~70% […]

  We released a new feature today for Amazon SNS that enables developers to perform custom message handling or publish messages to other AWS services by subscribing AWS Lambda functions to SNS topics. When a message is published to an SNS topic that has a Lambda function subscribed to it, the Lambda function is invoked with the payload of […]

AWS Mobile SDKs for iOS and Android now supports AWS Lambda that make it easy to invoke Lambda functions. AWS Lambda is a compute service that allows you to run code in response to events. Starting today, you can now create AWS Lambda functions that respond to events from your application synchronously (in real time) […]

In 2014 we launched Amazon Cognito, a service that makes it easy to save user data, such as app preferences or game state, in the AWS Cloud without writing any backend code or managing any infrastructure. User data is available while the device is offline and is synchronized across a user’s devices so that their […]

The previous version of the SDK included only two frameworks, AWSiOSSDKv2.framework and AWSCognitoSync.framework. For Amazon Cognito Sync, you import AWSCognitoSync.framework, and for all other AWS services, you import AWSiOSSDKv2.framework. These frameworks do not require the -ObjC linker flag, and we recommended not using that flag. If your app depends on third-party libraries that require the […]

The maximum limit of 65K on DEX method count imposed by Android remains to be a significant challenge for Mobile App Developers. While there are workarounds like ProGuard and MultiDex’ing, these are cumbersome and add additional overhead. We often see developers making trade-offs with regards to the functionality in their apps due to the DEX […]

In September, we introduced developer authenticated identities, a new feature that allows you to utilize your own end-user identities with Amazon Cognito (read our announcement post). The purpose of this post is to show an end-to-end sample that demonstrates how to integrate this feature with an existing authentication system. Using developer authenticated identities involves interaction […]
