AWSS3TransferManager - Terminating app due to uncaught exception

Question

I am creating a cordova plugin to upload images to s3.

When I build the project I get the following error:

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'The service configuration is `nil`. You need to configure `Info.plist` or set `defaultServiceConfiguration` before using this method.'

I have followed other answers on here and added the extra keys to the info.plist:

This is the function in the plugin.

- (void)uploadImage:(CDVInvokedUrlCommand*)command
{
  AWSS3TransferManager *transferManager = [AWSS3TransferManager defaultS3TransferManager];

  NSString* filePath = [command argumentAtIndex:0 withDefault:nil];
  NSURL *uploadingFileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath: filePath];

  AWSS3TransferManagerUploadRequest *uploadRequest = [AWSS3TransferManagerUploadRequest new];

  uploadRequest.bucket = @"my-test-bucket";
  uploadRequest.key = @"mykey";
  uploadRequest.body = uploadingFileURL;

  [[transferManager upload:uploadRequest] continueWithExecutor:[AWSExecutor mainThreadExecutor]
            withBlock:^id(AWSTask *task) {
    if (task.error) {
        if ([task.error.domain isEqualToString:AWSS3TransferManagerErrorDomain]) {
            switch (task.error.code) {
                case AWSS3TransferManagerErrorCancelled:
                case AWSS3TransferManagerErrorPaused:
                    break;

                default:
                    NSLog(@"Error: %@", task.error);
                    break;
            }
        } else {
            // Unknown error.
            NSLog(@"Error: %@", task.error);
        }
    }

    if (task.result) {
        AWSS3TransferManagerUploadOutput *uploadOutput = task.result;
        // The file uploaded successfully.
    }
    return nil;
    }];
}

The exception is thrown at line:

AWSS3TransferManager *transferManager = [AWSS3TransferManager defaultS3TransferManager];

Answer 1

I found a solution using the answer provided in https://stackoverflow.com/a/39957439/3191747

Adding the following to didFinishLaunchingWithOptions in the AppDelegate solved the problem:

AWSStaticCredentialsProvider *credentialsProvider = [[AWSStaticCredentialsProvider alloc] initWithAccessKey:AWS_ACCESS_KEY secretKey:AWS_SECRET_KEY];

    AWSServiceConfiguration *configuration = [[AWSServiceConfiguration alloc] initWithRegion:AWSRegionAPSoutheast1
                                                                     credentialsProvider:credentialsProvider];

    AWSServiceManager.defaultServiceManager.defaultServiceConfiguration = configuration;
