AWS Mobile SDK for Android v2.8.0

New Features

• AWS Mobile Client
  • The AWSMobileClient provides client APIs and building blocks for developers who want to create user authentication experiences. It supports the following new features:
    • User state tracking: AWSMobileClient offers on-demand querying for the “login state” of a user in the application.
    • Credentials management: Automatic refreshing of Cognito User Pools JWT Token and AWS Credentials from Cognito Identity.
    • Offline support: AWSMobileClient is optimized to account for applications transitioning from offline to online connectivity, and refreshing credentials at the appropriate time so that errors do not occur when actions are taken and connectivity is not available.
    • Drop-in Auth UI: AWSMobileClient client supports easy “drop-in” UI for your application.
    • Simple, declarative APIs signUp, signIn, confirmSignIn, etc.

Note: The existing methods of AWSMobileClient are deprecated and will be removed in a future minor version. AWSMobileClient now takes a dependency on AWSCognitoIdentityProvider(Cognito User Pools SDK) package to offer integration with CognitoUserPools. When using the new drop-in UI, AWSAuthUI and Social sign-in features continue to be pluggable dependencies for AWSMobileClient.

All documentation is now centralized at https://aws-amplify.github.io/

Enhancements

• Amazon Kinesis Video Streams
  • Improve exception handling.
  • Lower default memory allocation to 385MB to reduce crashes from over-allocation.
  • Breaking API Changes
    • Remove streamName parameter from KinesisVideoClient.registerMediaSource() as MediaSource already has the stream name in StreamInfo.
    • Add KinesisVideoClient.unregisterMediaSource() to remove MediaSource to KinesisVideoProducerStream binding from KinesisVideoClient. Customers can use unregisterMediaSource() after they stop streaming, so MediaSource data will not to be sent to Kinesis Video Streams.
    • Add getStreamInfo() to MediaSource instead of MediaSourceConfiguration. If customers have implemented their own MediaSource and MediaSourceConfiguration, they would need to provide stream information via MediaSource.getStreamInfo(). The MediaSourceConfiguration.getStreamInfo() will not work.
    • The following classes are no longer publicly available.
      • MediaSource

AWS Mobile SDK for Android v2.7.4

Bug Fixes

• Amazon S3
  • Fix a bug in specifying a custom Security Provider for client-side encryption.
  • AmazonS3EncryptionClient (Client-side encryption) is deprecated. You can secure your content in S3 in two ways: a) For uploads, you can encrypt the file locally using an algorithm of your choice and use the TransferUtility API to upload the encrypted file to S3. For downloads, you can use the TransferUtility API to download the file and then decrypt it using the algorithm that you used to upload the file. b) ServerSideEncryption: There are multiple options available for ServerSide Encryption. You can setup encryption at the S3 bucket level using the AWS S3 console. When encryption is setup at the bucket level, all objects in the bucket are encrypted. You can also use the AWS console to encrypt individual objects after they have been uploaded. Another option is to request ServerSide encryption for the object being uploaded using the SDK.
  • Fix a bug to support transfer objects with name containing special characters. '+', '*', '%7E' and '%2F' characters are URL-encoded.
