Deleting file from S3 bucket in iOS app (Swift)

Question 1

I am writing an iOS app in Swift, and am using Amazon S3 to store files. I was wondering if anyone knows how I can programmatically delete files in my S3 bucket on command (instead of setting a delete policy in the bucket lifecycle).

Thanks in advance

Question 2

Your code to delete a file from S3 bucket should look something like this:

    let s3 = AWSS3.defaultS3()
    let deleteObjectRequest = AWSS3DeleteObjectRequest()
    deleteObjectRequest.bucket = "yourBucketName"
    deleteObjectRequest.key = "yourFileName"
    s3.deleteObject(deleteObjectRequest).continueWithBlock { (task:AWSTask) -> AnyObject? in
        if let error = task.error {
            print("Error occurred: \(error)")
            return nil
        }
        print("Deleted successfully.")
        return nil
    }

let s3 = AWSS3.defaultS3()

let deleteObjectRequest = AWSS3DeleteObjectRequest()

deleteObjectRequest.bucket = "yourBucketName"

deleteObjectRequest.key = "yourFileName"

s3.deleteObject(deleteObjectRequest).continueWithBlock { (task:AWSTask) -> AnyObject? in

if let error = task.error {

print("Error occurred: \(error)")

return nil

}

print("Deleted successfully.")

return nil

}
