UPDATE: This can be fixed by adding the 2 files, ~/.aws/config and ~/.aws/credentials, as described by the docs here.

(The CLI points to it, but I somehow missed it, sorry.)

Thanks it's very helpful! They didn't mention anything about them in https://aws-amplify.github.io/docs/ios/start?ref=amplify-iOS-btn...

I had the [default] profile in the ~/.aws folder. Amplify was looking for something like amplify-qCX0Z. To fix this I had to copy the default profile values to [amplify-qCX0Z].

I was missing the config file under ~/.aws, just insert the following to that file with the correct region.

[default]
region=us-west-2
output=json
