Describe the feature

Remove support for Swift 5.5 & 5.6 on aws-sdk-swift and smithy-swift, leaving Swift 5.7 as the minimum supported Swift version. For reference, Swift 5.7 was introduced in Xcode 14.0 in September 2022.

Specific tasks:

  • Set swift-tools-version and other minimum Swift version limits in our targets from 5.5 to 5.7.
  • Remove conditional code for Swift version 5.5 & 5.6.
  • Remove Swift 5.5 & 5.6 from CI tasks, replace with versions up to latest Swift where needed.
  • Remove Catapult builds using Swift 5.5 & 5.6

Use Case

  • To allow for the use of more modern Swift
  • To reduce the burden of supporting old Swift versions
  • To reduce the complexity and build time on build & CI systems

Proposed Solution

Specific tasks:

  • Set swift-tools-version and other minimum Swift version limits in our targets from 5.5 to 5.7.
  • Remove conditional code for Swift version 5.5 & 5.6.
  • Remove Swift 5.5 & 5.6 from CI tasks, replace with versions up to latest Swift where needed.
  • Remove Catapult builds using Swift 5.5 & 5.6, replace with versions up to latest Swift where needed.

Amplify dropped Swift 5.6 support in amplify-swift 2.18.0 so we are now free to move to Swift 5.7 as our minimum for SDK and smithy-swift.

Removing the "Blocked" label accordingly.
