Aws-sdk-ios: AWSMobileClient - Passing Pool ID / Client ID outside awsconfiguration file?

[afanaian]

I'm trying to initialize pool/client IDs without having to use .json or plist files. I've searched all over the docs + tried every sample SDK. Using AWSCognitoIdentityUserPool.register doesn't seem to take any effect on AWSMobileClient (For obvious reasons).
I'm just trying to sign in (depending on which pool they pick) --> Get tokens.

Is this really not supported?

Which AWS Services are you utilizing?
AWSMobileClient

Hello @afanaian

Unfortunately this is currently not supported. You will have to use an awsconfiguration.json file to provide the values for your UserPoolId etc.

Is there a specific reason why you are unable to add the values in a configuration file?

I will take this as a feature request to the team and update here once we prioritize it.

Best,
Rohan

@rohandubal I don't have issues adding the values to the config file, but it isn't ideal to add the values at run time. The client requires to point to different user pools depending on what the server returns. I'll manually edit the config file for now, but please keep it as a feature request.

@afanaian thanks for the explanation. That makes sense, I will mark this as feature request and take it to the team!

@rohandubal any chance there's a roadmap on when this change is coming?

@rohandubal I got exactly the same requirement for my application. Has this issue been placed on the roadmap? Otherwise I'll have to swizzle some configuration methods in the sdk... I would prefer not to go there.
