AWS Amplify Access Denied when Pushing to Cloud


I am following this tutorial for integrating AWS Amplify into iOS. I added the GraphQl API backend, but when I try to push it to the cloud, i get this error:

❯ amplify push

It then hangs and I have to Ctrl-C to get out of it. I tried troubleshooting my AWS CLI environment by running amplify configure then followed the prompts to create a new user. The new user has the AdministratorAccess policy attached to its permissions, but it still has the same AccessDenied error.


Solution

  • I just experienced the same and I noticed my error was I did amplify configure while logged in to another account where the application did not exist in.

    The solution for me was, I logged into the right account and did amplify configure again.
