When I run this code,
the logs

CAWSManager::InitFunctions 2 <<– gets stuck for 5 seconds before the next line gets printed
CAWSManager::InitFunctions 3

did anyone else encounter this? running on MacBook Pro Xcode using aws-cpp-sdk version 1.11.330 (from homebrew)
I’ve searched online and the only clue was config.disableIMDS = true;
but it dint work here.
