You can do it in Swift using the AWSLambda Pod :

import AWSLambda

// ...

let request = AWSLambdaInvocationRequest()!
request.functionName = "name of your lambda"
request.invocationType = .requestResponse
let params: [String: Any] = [:]
request.payload = try! JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: params, options: [])

AWSLambda.default().invoke(request) { response, error in
    if let error = error {

    }
}
