-Currently, the client libraries are in **beta**. These libraries follow the [Azure SDK Design Guidelines for iOS](https://azure.github.io/azure-sdk/ios_introduction.html) and share a number of core features such as HTTP retries, logging, transport protocols, authentication protocols, etc., so that once you learn how to use these features in one client library, you will know how to use them in other client libraries. You can learn about these shared features in [AzureCore](sdk/core/AzureCore/README.md).
