State your question

What is the proper way to define the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_ID for iOS Swift?

I have put it in environments and plist with no luck. Confirmed that it is working with aws command line config / list buckets
can not find docs on how exactly to do this for iOS Swift.
Call to
client = try S3Client(region: "us-east-2")
has error
Error info: crtError(AwsCommonRuntimeKit.CRTError(code: 6153, message: "Valid credentials could not be sourced by the IMDS provider", name: "AWS_AUTH_CREDENTIALS_PROVIDER_IMDS_SOURCE_FAILURE"))

Which AWS Services are you utilizing?

@jeff-orthober Thanks for submitting your question. Please see the documentation here and verify that your credential is configured as documented: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-swift/latest/developer-guide/using-configuration.html

Can you clarify your use case? If you are trying to use the AWS iOS SDK or the AWS SDK for Swift? ?

If you're using the AWS iOS SDK directly, have you looked at the sample app for access S3 here? https://github.com/awslabs/aws-sdk-ios-samples/tree/main/S3TransferUtility-Sample/Swift

If you're using the AWS SDK for Swift directly, have you looked at the samples here?

• https://docs.aws.amazon.com/code-library/latest/ug/swift_1_s3_code_examples.html
• https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/tree/main/swift/example_code/s3

You can also consider using the Amplify Swift library and use the Storage category to access S3. See the documentation here: https://docs.amplify.aws/lib/storage/getting-started/q/platform/ios/
