Describe the feature request

In the Amplify v2 docuementation for Kotlin or Android, I am not able to see any implementation for AWS IoT Core in it. Basically, I need the support to create an android app to control my IoT Core Things.

Amplify v2 does not have IoT capabilities.

If you are looking to make mqtt connections, you will want to use aws-iot-device-sdk-java.
If you are looking for APIs to manage IoT, you can use the AWS Kotlin SDK

Thanks for your help Tyler. I can use sdk for my use case as well. However, on the sdk repo readme, it was mentioned to use amplify instead of sdk directly, like in the screenshot below:

This the repo where i am planning to use the sdk from, can you please guide me if this repo is different from the ones you shared earlier to get iot core mqtt connection.

@datasciencemachine As Tyler suggested, Amplify is not a complete 1:1 replacement for aws-sdk-android. So you can use the two other repos as he suggested.

For the MQTT connection, it actually looks like there's a v2 of that library: https://github.com/aws/aws-iot-device-sdk-java-v2

For the AWS SDK Kotlin, here is the docs page with code examples for doing IoT things with it: https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/tree/main/kotlin/services/iot#code-examples
