Is there any plan for this framework to support ESP-IDF v4.4 or above? (CA-233)

We are planning to use the ESP32-S3 module, which requires the use of ESP-IDF v4.4 or v5.0, and since it is mentioned that this framework only supports ESP-IDF v4.3 currently, we are not sure if we can use this framework to develop the AWS IoT application on the S3 module.

There is an example of use here, you have to do minor changes in ESP-IDF configuration in order to make it work with ESP-IDF v4.4, but I understand that is officially suported.

You have to enable mbedTLS threading abstraction layer from the menuconfig if you are using it in your own project. Unlike the previous version, you could not add it as a usual component on generic component directory of ESP-IDF, you need to add it like the example, as a component of the project. Other difference I found is with this new version you have different components on esp-aws-iot component, so you need to add each of the recursive components in you REQUIRES.

This is the workaround founded, but maybe exists a better solution in order to make it work without setting all this configuration that could have conflicts with some other component of the ESP-IDF.

I'm also waiting if there is some way of integrate this framework in ESP-IDF.

There is an update on the https://github.com/espressif/esp-aws-iot page, saying

ESP-IDF can be downloaded from https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/
Please set your branch to release/v4.3 or release/v4.4 and pull in the latest changes.
IDF release/v5.0 is not supported.

Does this mean that ESP-IDF v4.4 is now officially supported without tweaking the latest esp-aws-iot code?
