## What it is
The official AWS SDK for iOS, providing Swift and Objective-C clients for AWS services such as S3, DynamoDB, and Cognito in mobile apps. It is deprecated in favor of AWS Amplify for Swift, with end of support scheduled for August 1, 2026.

## Use cases
- access AWS services from an iOS app
- upload files to S3 from Swift
- authenticate iOS users with Amazon Cognito
- query DynamoDB from an iPhone app
- integrate AWS into an Objective-C mobile project

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy iOS app already built on this SDK
- needing direct low-level AWS service clients on iOS before the 2026 end-of-support date

## When to avoid
- starting a new iOS project (use AWS Amplify for Swift instead)
- needing long-term support beyond August 2026
