AWS ExpiredTokenException after app relaunch

Question

I\'m building an iOS (Swift) app using AWS as the backend with Developer Authenticated Identities. Everything works fine until I close the app, leave it for a while and then rel

Answer 1

Unfortunately developers refreshing the token is the only way.

I agree that it would be simpler for app developers if AWS SDK handled this but the way CrdentialsProvider is designed is supposed to be generic for all providers. For example, if someone wants to use Facebook as provider then AWS SDK will not be able to handle the refresh on its own and developer will have t handle that in his app. Keeping the refresh flow out of the SDK gives us the capability to keep the CredentialsProvider generic.
