Amplify-cli: CLI says it's not avaiable in a region, but I can use it via console

[Eduardogbg]

Describe the bug
If I amplify init a project with a sa-east-1 profile, it will work. I'll be able to add apis, authentication and etc. However, when I try to amplify add hosting it will yield a "Missing required key 'appId' in params" error. Then if I try to amplify init --appId with an Amplify app id that I already created via console in the region, it will say "Amplify service is not available in the region sa-east-1
init failed".

That doesn't make any sense, considering that I just created an app via the console, and all the features are available using it (for example, I can create a fullstack amplify app clicking the quick start examples).

Amplify CLI Version
4.29.0

To Reproduce
Try to amplify init --appId with an app id in sa-east-1

Expected behavior
To work, since I can do all the amplify cli things via the console, I expected them to work via cli.

Hi @Eduardogbg

As the appId you created via console is in region sa-east-1 and amplify-cli doesn't support the region for amplify service ,thats why you are facing this issue.
I have mark this as enhancement and 👍 to get this prioritized.
