Support for REST API in Gen 2 applications #3895

Open nuckcrews opened 1 week ago

nuckcrews commented 1 week ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It seems as though support was dropped for REST APIs in the new Gen2 backends when working with mobile apps. When using amplify_outputs.json to configure my application, I get misconfigurations and crashes (I know the format is correct because it works for my Next.js app).

Describe the solution you'd like

Please add support for REST APIs like you have for other platforms like web.

Example: Next.js support

Describe alternatives you've considered

I am considering building my own support for this by building a custom dispatching layer. However, this is keeping me from migrating to Gen 2 and pushing me to move away from Amplify all together.

Is the feature request related to any of the existing Amplify categories?

Hello, If you are using Gen 1, you may still continue to use it for REST API use cases.

For Gen2, you can still deploy your APIGateway backend following steps here: https://docs.amplify.aws/javascript/build-a-backend/add-aws-services/rest-api/set-up-rest-api/ However, native client libraries currently don't support it. You may use https://github.com/awslabs/aws-sdk-swift directly for REST API use cases
