I'm having the same issue.

I am also having this issue, but only on a build machine. I am trying to narrow it down to a version of either @aws-amplify or aws-sdk, but no luck so far.

I'll report back if I succeed.

EDIT: Ok, the issue is caused by the latest @aws-amplify/analytics. Revert back to 1.2.16 for that package and the issue will be fixed. You can take a look at the available versions here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@aws-amplify/analytics?activeTab=versions

If anyone's interested, this file - https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-js/blob/master/packages/analytics/src/Providers/AmazonPersonalizeHelper/MediaAutoTrack.ts - added a reference to youtube-iframe, which causes the issue here.

I found that I also get this error from @aws-amplify/ui. If you are using yarn you can resolve the sub dependencies to earlier versions by adding resolutions to the package.json:

  "resolutions": {
    "@aws-amplify/analytics": "1.2.16",
    "@aws-amplify/ui": "1.0.19"
  },
