## Install Dependencies

After initialization in your project directory with `amplify init`, edit your `Podfile` with the following:

```ruby
target 'MyApp' do            ##Replace MyApp with your application name
  use_frameworks!
  pod 'AWSMobileClient'      # Required dependency
  pod 'AWSAuthUI'            # Optional dependency required to use drop-in UI
  pod 'AWSUserPoolsSignIn'   # Optional dependency required to use drop-in UI
end
```

Next run the following command:

```bash
pod install --repo-update
```

Open the **.xcworkspace** file for your project (close the **.xcodeproj** file if you already have it open). The CLI will create the `awsconfiguration.json` file in your project directory. In the Finder, drag `awsconfiguration.json` into Xcode under the top Project Navigator folder (the folder name should match your Xcode project name). When the `Options` dialog box appears, do the following:

* Clear the `Copy items if needed` check box.
* Choose `Create groups`, and then choose `Finish`.

Build your project once to ensure all frameworks are pulled in and compile.

## Automated Setup

Run the following command in your project's root folder:

```bash
amplify add auth
```

> If you have previously enabled an Amplify category that uses Auth behind the scenes, e.g. Storage category, you may already have an Auth configuration. In such a case, run `amplify auth update` command to edit your configuration.

The Amplify CLI prompts will help you to customize your auth configuration:
- Customize sign-in/registration flow
- Customize email and SMS messages for Multi-Factor Authentication
- Customize attributes for your users, e.g. name, email
- Enable 3rd party authentication providers like Facebook, Twitter, Google and Amazon

After configuring your Authentication options, update your backend:

```bash
amplify push
```

### Lambda Triggers

The CLI allows you to configure [Lambda Triggers](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/cognito-user-identity-pools-working-with-aws-lambda-triggers.html) for your Amazon Cognito User Pool. These enable you to add custom functionality to your registration and authentication flows. [Read more](/cli/usage/lambda-triggers)

## Manual Setup

For manual configuration without the CLI, you must have an `awsconfiguration.json` file with the following:

```json
    {
        "IdentityManager": {
            "Default": {}
        },
        "CredentialsProvider": {
            "CognitoIdentity": {
                "Default": {
                    "PoolId": "XX-XXXX-X:XXXXXXXX-XXXX-1234-abcd-1234567890ab",
                    "Region": "XX-XXXX-X"
                }
            }
        },
        "CognitoUserPool": {
            "Default": {
                "PoolId": "XX-XXXX-X_abcd1234",
                "AppClientId": "XXXXXXXX",
                "Region": "XX-XXXX-X"
            }
        }
    }
```

If you are using both Cognito User and Identity Pools you will need all of the keys mentioned above.

### Initialization

Open the `AppDelegate.swift` file in your Xcode project, import `AWSMobileClient` and add to the `application` function:

```swift
import AWSMobileClient

@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {

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

            // Initialize AWSMobileClient singleton
            AWSMobileClient.default().initialize { (userState, error) in
                if let userState = userState {
                    print("UserState: \(userState.rawValue)")
                } else if let error = error {
                    print("error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
                }
            }

        return true
    }
    ...
```

Build and run your program to see the initialized client in Xcode messages. Since you haven't logged in yet it will print a state of `signedOut`. The `userState` returns an ENUM which you can perform different actions in your workflow. For example, now add to the `viewDidLoad()` function of your `ViewController.swift`:

```swift

    import AWSMobileClient

    ...

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        switch( AWSMobileClient.default().currentUserState) {
            case .signedIn:
                DispatchQueue.main.async {
                    print("Logged In")
                }
            case .signedOut:
                DispatchQueue.main.async {
                    print("Signed Out")
                }
            default:
                AWSMobileClient.default().signOut()
            }
    }
```

You might leverage the above workflow to perform other actions in the `signedIn` case, such as calling [GraphQL APIs with AWS AppSync](/sdk/api/graphql) or uploading content with [Amazon S3](/sdk/storage/getting-started).
