OTA via esp_https_ota() - still usable on top of newer v4 AWS IOT C SDK?

[levente]

Hello,

the IDF examples for using AWS IOT C SDK 202003.00 (the v4 SDK) show vast user code for performing OTA over HTTPS or MQTT, needing to set up myriad operations that were not necessary when using esp_https_ota() and older v3 AWS IOT SDK.

However, IDF documentation still specifies esp_https_ota() as a handy all-in-one API.

As AWS IOT component became an independent component, and IDF-specific porting was done on beta branch: would esp_https_ota() still be usable with this new IOT component?
Or one, if taking the new AWS IOT component's IDF port, need to do at user level the myriad operations (OTA agent in separate thread, MQTT and HTTPS connections, mutexes etc.)

Many thanks in advance for any clarification.
