Build an iOS Application

Create a simple iOS application using AWS Amplify

Introduction

Overview

In this tutorial, you will create a simple iOS application using AWS Amplify, a set of tools and serverless services in the cloud. As you complete each module, you will initialize a local app using the Amplify Command Line Interface (Amplify CLI), add user authentication, add a GraphQL API and a database to store your data, and update your app to store images.

What you will accomplish

  • Manage a serverless cloud backend from the command line

  • Add auth to your app to enable sign-in and sign-out

  • Add a GraphQL API, database, and storage solution

  • Share your backend between multiple projects
