Generate the iOS SDK of an API in API Gateway

The following procedure shows how to generate the iOS SDK of an API in API Gateway.

To generate the iOS SDK of an API in API Gateway

1. Sign in to the API Gateway console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/apigateway.

2. Choose a REST API.

3. Choose Stages.

4. In the Stages pane, select the name of the stage.

5. Open the Stage actions menu, and then choose Generate SDK.

6. For Platform, choose the iOS (Objective-C) or iOS (Swift) platform and do the following:

   1. Type a unique prefix in the Prefix box.

      The effect of prefix is as follows: if you assign, for example, SIMPLE_CALC as the prefix for the SDK of the SimpleCalc API with input, output, and result models, the generated SDK will contain the SIMPLE_CALCSimpleCalcClient class that encapsulates the API, including the method requests/responses. In addition, the generated SDK will contain the SIMPLE_CALCinput, SIMPLE_CALCoutput, and SIMPLE_CALCresult classes to represent the input, output, and results, respectively, to represent the request input and response output. For more information, see Use iOS SDK generated by API Gateway for a REST API in Objective-C or Swift.

7. Choose Generate SDK, and then follow the on-screen directions to download the SDK generated by API Gateway.

Follow the instructions in Use iOS SDK generated by API Gateway for a REST API in Objective-C or Swift to use the generated SDK.

Every time you update an API, you must redeploy the API and regenerate the SDK to have the updates included.
