These utilities help you authenticate when when making Amazon Location Service API calls from their iOS applications. This specifically helps when using Amazon Cognito as the authentication method.

- Select the "amazon-location-mobile-auth-sdk-ios" package and click on "Add Package".
- Select the "AmazonLocationiOSAuthSDK" package product and click on "Add Package".
After installing the library, import the AuthHelper class in an activity:
import AmazonLocationiOSAuthSDK
import AWSLocationXCFYou can create an AuthHelper and use it with the AWS SDK:
// Create an authentication helper using credentials from Cognito
func exampleCognitoLogin() {
let authHelper = AuthHelper()
let locationCredentialsProvider = authHelper.authenticateWithCognitoIdentityPool(identityPoolId: "My-Cognito-Identity-Pool-Id", region: "us-east-1")
let locationClient = authHelper.getLocationClient()
}// Create an authentication helper using credentials from any AWS-Swift-SDK [Credentials Provider](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-crt-swift/blob/main/Source/AwsCommonRuntimeKit/auth/credentials/CredentialsProvider.swift)
func exampleCognitoLogin() {
let authHelper = AuthHelper()
let credentialProvider = try CredentialsProvider(source: .static(accessKey: "My-AWS-AccessKey", secret: "My-AWS-Secret", sessionToken: "My-AWS-SessionToken", shutdownCallback: {/*Perform post shutdown operation here*/}))
let locationCredentialsProvider = authHelper.authenticateWithCredentialsProvider(credentialsProvider: credentialProvider)
let locationClient = authHelper.getLocationClient()
