AssumeRole - AWS iOS SDK sample

I am using "AssumeRole" api in iOS AWS sdk to generate temporary security credentials. Can anybody tell the steps for this or give sample app for this? 

 TSC = [[AmazonSecurityTokenServiceClient alloc]initWithAccessKey:@"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" withSecretKey:@"uuuuuuuuuuuyyyyyyyy" ]; 
 request = [[SecurityTokenServiceAssumeRoleRequest alloc]init ]; 
    request.roleArn = @"arn:aws:iam::0000000000:role/test";
    request.roleSessionName = @"test";
    request.policy =nil;
    request.durationSeconds=[NSNumber numberWithInt:3600];
    request.externalId=@"test123";
    response =  [TSC assumeRole:request];

My doubt is to get temporary credentials, the above code will be enough or do i need call the NSURLConnection delegates explicitly to make the web service call? Thanks.

That code should be enough to get credentials. If the request is successful, the credentials will be available in the response object. (API reference).

You'll need to initialize a AmazonCredentials object to use the returned credentials:

AmazonCredentials *credentials = 
   [[AmazonCredentials alloc] initWithAccessKey:response.credentials.accessKeyId
                                  withSecretKey:response.credentials.secretAccessKey
                              withSecurityToken:response.credentials.sessionToken];

AmazonS3Client *s3 = [[AmazonS3Client alloc] initWithCredentials:credentials];
