iOS Amazon S3 Client - how to handle “Request timed out”

Question

I'm getting a lot of these crash reports:

Fatal Exception: AmazonClientException
Request timed out.

The line of code where the error occurs is this:

S3PutObjectResponse *response = [self.s3 putObject:putObjectRequest]; //ERROR HERE

if(response.error != nil)
        {
            NSLog(@"Amazon Client Error: %@", response.error);
        }


        if (response.exception) {
            if (theRequest.failureBlock) {
                theRequest.failureBlock([response description]);
            }
        }
        else if (scRequest.successBlock) {
            //success
        }

The problem is that the time out occurs and therefore I don't get a chance to handle any errors or exceptions.

Where can I put code to handle the request time out so that the app doesn't crash?

The crash only occurs when the request times out.

The AmazonS3Client method you're calling is throwing an Objective-C exception. Catch it using @try / @catch .
