Add MQTT Support for AWS IoT Core

[Oleksandr19942]

Describe the feature

Please add support for MQTT (including WebSocket wss:// connections) to AWS IoT Core in aws-sdk-swift. This would allow native integration with AWS IoT Core without needing third-party libraries or additional SDKs.
Currently, it is not possible to communicate with AWS IoT via MQTT using only aws-sdk-swift, as there's no public API or documentation showing such capability.
Is there currently any undocumented way to connect to AWS IoT using MQTT (especially with wss:// support) in this SDK?

Use Case

I'm building a real-time voice chat feature in an iOS app using aws-sdk-swift, and I need to publish and subscribe to topics over MQTT using AWS IoT Core with a wss:// connection. Currently, aws-sdk-swift supports only the REST-based IoT Data Plane APIs (like Publish), but not actual MQTT or persistent WebSocket communication. I want to avoid adding third-party MQTT libraries like CocoaMQTT due to dependency conflicts and to keep the integration fully native within AWS tooling.

Hello, thanks for reaching out with your question !

At the moment aws-sdk-swift has no plans of adding MQTT / WebSocket support.
However, there exists an official SDK in development by AWS specifically for AWS IoT: https://github.com/aws/aws-iot-device-sdk-swift.

Hopefully that pointer helps !
