Services or capabilities described in AWS documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the AWS European Sovereign Cloud Region, see the AWS European Sovereign Cloud User Guide.

The AWS SDK for .NET V3 has entered maintenance mode.

We recommend that you migrate to AWS SDK for .NET V4. For additional details and information on how to migrate, please refer to our maintenance mode announcement.

Special considerations for Unity support

When using the AWS SDK for .NET and .NET Standard 2.0 for your Unity application, your application must reference the AWS SDK for .NET assemblies (DLL files) directly rather than using NuGet. Given this requirement, the following are important actions you will need to perform.

  • If you're using IL2CPP to build your Unity project, you must add a link.xml file to your Asset folder to prevent code stripping. The link.xml file must list all of the AWSSDK assemblies you are using, and each must include the preserve="all" attribute. The following snippet shows an example of this file.

    <linker>
    <assembly fullname="AWSSDK.Core" preserve="all"/>
    <assembly fullname="AWSSDK.DynamoDBv2" preserve="all"/>
    <assembly fullname="AWSSDK.Lambda" preserve="all"/>
</linker>
