AWS Mobile SDKs (Android, iOS, Unity)

Section titled “Concept”AWS Mobile SDKs are libraries made for Android, iOS and Unity, which let a mobile app or game use AWS services directly. The SDK makes complex API calls, building secure requests and handling errors easier. An app usually gets temporary credentials from Amazon Cognito and then goes to services such as S3 and DynamoDB. This way, the app does not need to keep a permanent secret key inside it. For new apps, the Amplify library is usually used, which makes these jobs even easier.
