@davepander Thanks for opening the issue. Our team will work on updating this documentation to reflect the latest platform versions.

@atierian Any thoughts or questions on this update?

We're working on updating the documentation -- we'll update you here once that's complete. In the meantime, are there any specific questions around usage that we can help you with?

Updates? I have hit these two issues. If you have an update (or workaround) please provide it even if you can not update the official documentation yet. Thanks! (PS: there is actually another issue in the example code where some print statements are not terminated properly. If you give a fix to these issues I'll open a defect for that component)

@GitPappaBaker Thanks for following up. Our team is actively working on updating the documentation. I will try to get some clarifications posted on this issue.

I'll put my own update in here. Not sure this is how it is supposed to function, but this will get you through.

1. to fix the async issue just wrap each of the self.updateUserData call in a task. here is an example, repeated for each one:

            case HubPayload.EventName.Auth.signedIn:
                print("==HUB== User signed In, update UI")
                Task{
                    await self.updateUserData(withSignInStatus: true)
                }

2. for the Amplify.Auth.signInWithWebUI call, just make an empty call: Amplify.Auth.signInWithWebUI()

3. Although it is not mentioned in this defect, there are quite a few improperly terminated strings in a series of case statements. Here is one example "case" from the switch that has been fixed:

        case let .partial(revokeTokenError, globalSignOutError, hostedUIError):
            if let hostedUIError = hostedUIError {
                print("HostedUI error  \(String(describing: hostedUIError))")
            }

I just mention this so no one overthinks the errors that this series of switch/case generates.

I'm happy to have someone tell me a different way to fix these issues but for now...the code is working ;)

Hi all, I wanted to provide an update.

The team is working on re-writing the old sample tutorial found at https://aws.amazon.com/getting-started/hands-on/build-ios-app-amplify/ in order to use the latest tools, practices and features from both Swift and Amplify.

We appreciate your patience while we complete and publish this update.

In the meantime, you can visit our official Amplify Documentation for Swift website, where you will also find:

• Instructions on how to create a simple example app and integrate it with Amplify
• More details on how to use each Amplify Category to support your use cases
  • For example, in the Authentication you will find information and examples on how to handle your authentication flows.

Thanks!

The updated guide is queued up for release -- we'll let you know once it's complete.
