aws-iot-device-sdk-js: ReferenceError: Map is not defined

The latest change has caused the SDK to cease working on my device due to the use of the ES6 Map type:

@jdelaune, yes you can install the previous version with ‘npm install aws-iot-device-sdk@1.0.10’. That version doesn’t include any ES6 types. These will be removed from the next release. Thanks for using AWS IoT.

Try npm install aws-iot-device-sdk@1.0.10

Fixed in version 1.0.12

@jdelaune I haven’t tried other versions but due to the above issues I am currently using V1.0.5 in my project.

I too am having this problem, in fact in the AWS environment. I’m trying to write a NodeJS Lambda function to simulate data being pushed into the IoT environment. However, the version of NodeJS running in Lambda is 0.10.36, and thus it fails with the “ReferenceError: Map is not defined” error. Therefore, I’m interested in the update you refer to. Thanks.
