How can I set up Amazon Amplify iOS in Objective-C?

The docs show Swift code only. When trying to use Objective-C, I can't access any of the Amplify libraries. Am I missing an installation step?

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {

do {
    try Amplify.add(plugin: AWSCognitoAuthPlugin())
    try Amplify.add(plugin: AWSPinpointAnalyticsPlugin())
    try Amplify.configure()
    print("Amplify configured with Auth and Analytics plugins")
} catch {
    print("Failed to initialize Amplify with \(error)")
}

return true

}

How to do the equivalent in Objective-C?

You're not missing anything. Unfortunately there's no Objective-C support on Amplify for iOS. Amplify was built in Swift using its full capabilities and Objective-C support is not currently being considered unless there's a strong demand from the community.

Out of curiosity: are you starting a new app in Objective-C? If so I would be curious to understand why not going with Swift given Apple's investment on Swift lately (Combine, SwiftUI, Swift language updates, etc).

If you're trying to integrate Amplify in an existing Objective-C app, then I'm afraid it won't be possible.
