React Native AWS Amplify AuthError : Amplify has not been configured correctly

Question

I'm using AWS Amplify library in my react native project with manual configuration to sign in. I'm able to login in android application with react native project, but when i run the same react native code in ios, i'm getting the below error. I'm fetching my amplify configuration params data from .env files in react native.

I have followed these steps for iOS pod install for setting up the Amplify library https://docs.amplify.aws/lib/auth/start/q/platform/js#configure-your-application

I have installed all the pods in iOS related to https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-config and amplify libraries.

// import Amplify, { Auth } from 'aws-amplify';
   import Amplify from '@aws-amplify/core';
   import Auth from '@aws-amplify/auth';

  /** Configration of Cognito Auth Process for mobile client */
    Amplify.configure({
      Auth: {

  // REQUIRED only for Federated Authentication - Amazon Cognito Identity Pool ID
  identityPoolId: Config.REACT_APP_AWS_COGNITO_IDENTITY_POOL_ID,

  // REQUIRED - Amazon Cognito Region
  region:  Config.REACT_APP_AWS_COGNITO_REGION,

  // OPTIONAL - Amazon Cognito User Pool ID
  userPoolId: Config.REACT_APP_AWS_COGNITO_USER_POOL_ID,

  // OPTIONAL - Amazon Cognito Web Client ID (26-char alphanumeric string)
  userPoolWebClientId: Config.REACT_APP_AWS_COGNITO_USER_POOL_WEB_CLIENT_ID,

  // OPTIONAL - Enforce user authentication prior to accessing AWS resources or not
  mandatorySignIn: false,

  // OPTIONAL - Manually set the authentication flow type. Default is 'USER_SRP_AUTH'
  authenticationFlowType: 'USER_PASSWORD_AUTH',

   // OPTIONAL - Hosted UI configuration
  oauth: {
      domain: Config.REACT_APP_AWS_COGNITO_OAUTH_DOMAIN,
      scope: ['openid', 'aws.cognito.signin.user.admin'],
      redirectSignIn: Config.REACT_APP_AWS_COGNITO_OAUTH_REDIRECT_SIGNIN,
      redirectSignOut: Config.REACT_APP_AWS_COGNITO_OAUTH_REDIRECT_SIGNOUT,
      responseType: Config.REACT_APP_AWS_COGNITO_OAUTH_RESPONSE_TYPE, // or 'token', note 
      that REFRESH token will only be generated when the responseType is code
     }
     }.   
   });

   // You can get the current config object
    const currentConfig = Auth.configure();

  //Usage
   Auth.signIn(username, password).then(
    (result) => {
      console.log(result);
      if(result instanceof CognitoUser){
        console.log(result.getSignInUserSession()?.getAccessToken().getJwtToken());
        console.log(result.getSignInUserSession()?.getIdToken());
        console.log(result.getSignInUserSession()?.getRefreshToken());
      }
      this.props.navigation.replace('ChangePassword');
    }
  ).catch(
    (error) => {
      console.log('################# SignIn Error :');
      console.log(error);
    }
  )
   } catch (exception) {
  console.log(exception);
     console.log('################# Exception in SignIn API call');
    }

Not able to figure out what was the issue.

 [ERROR] 27:54.153 AuthError - 
        Error: Amplify has not been configured correctly. 
        The configuration object is missing required auth properties. 
        Did you run `amplify push` after adding auth via `amplify add auth`?
        See https://aws-amplify.github.io/docs/js/authentication#amplify-project-setup for 
   more information

Please let me know why exactly the above code is showing error when i run in iOS.

I had the same problem after updating my version of Amplify. I deleted the node_modues folder and package-lock.json. I ran 'npm install' and that fixed it.
