Outdated Documentation (How to use this library?) about afamazons3manager HOT 9 CLOSED

To be more specific, here's my example code:

NSString *tmpFile = [NSTemporaryDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"temp_avatar.jpg"];
AFAmazonS3Manager *manager = [[AFAmazonS3Manager alloc] initWithAccessKeyID:@"---- MY_AWS_KEY -------" secret:@"------ MY_AWS_SECRET ------"];
manager.requestSerializer.bucket = @"my_bucket_name_on_S3";
manager.requestSerializer.regions = AFAmazonS3USStandardRegion;
[manager postObjectWithFile:tmpFile destinationPath:@"images/users/avatars" parameters:nil progress:^(NSUInteger bytesWritten, NSInteger totalBytesWritten, NSInteger totalBytesExpectedToWrite) {
  NSLog(@"%f%% Uploaded", (totalBytesWritten / (totalBytesExpectedToWrite * 1.0f) * 100));
} success:^(id responseObject) {
  NSLog(@"Upload Complete, %@", responseObject);
} failure:^(NSError *error) {
  NSLog(@"Upload Complete");
}];

First of all I am not sure if I'm doing it right when i'm setting the buckets and regions on manager.requestSerializer. I just figured it out looking at the code but all the example codes--since they're based on the older version--directly sets bucket and regions properties on AFAmazonS3Client.

Also, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be passing to destinationPath parameter on postObjectWithFile method. Is it the full path including the filename, or just the folder path to which I will be storing the file? (By the way I've tried both but neither works)

Lastly, is there something I should be doing that I'm not doing here? Thank you.

@polaski I'm in the process of integrating an iOS app which retrieves its images from Amazon S3. However, I'm not clear as to how to use this API from the given example. Did you resolve your issue? At this time, the example uses AFAmazonS3Manager. However, I have only been able to declare AFAmazonS3Client. Is there better documentation elsewhere which clearly explains how to use this client?

anybody?

I gave up with this, as it is completely unfathomable, switched to cloudfront with signed URLs and wrote a simple php script to generate the signed urls, then used AFDownloadRequestOperation to pull the data down to the app using the signed URLs. I used the same URL format to request URLs from my PHP script that Amazon uses for signed URLs, just didn't have the Amazon secret in the app to make it all more secure.

Ok, @jonathandring I found an old post from stack overflow, hahahah ironically written by me i know see, of how i solved this problem before

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15069772/aws-s3-upload-image-to-bucket-ios-app

Basically I switched over to the AWS S3 cocoapod and have had great success with it. Currently used in a couple products I released. I'll find my code and put together a gist. Would you mind explaining what cloudfront and the signed URL thing is all about?

Maybe I'm not doing something I should be :)

Cloudfront is Amazons Content Distribution Network (CDN) which provides cached copies of S3 data worldwide, the content can be secured or unsecured:

Secured content is accessed using signed URLs, the following post explains how to generate the URLs with a server:

My sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused by vague and outdated documentation. I'm in the process of working through open PRs and issues now, and will be releasing updates soon.
