How to add existing amplify back end to the amplify front end?

** Which Category is your question related to? ** Auth, Storage, API

** What AWS Services are you utilizing? ** Cognito, AWS AppSync,

** Provide additional details e.g. code snippets ** I accidentally deleted my amplify frontend and I created a new one. How do I add again the existing amplify back end to the newly created amplify app?

I followed the steps on the backend tab

1. amplify init --appId ("ID OF YOUR NEW AMPLIFY APP").

2. Instead of amplify add CATEGORY HERE. I use amplify update CATEGORY HERE

Then amplify push

But when I check the amplify app on the AWS console there still no backend integrated to it.

Am I doing correct?

Recovering the deleted Amplify Console project is not in the Amplify CLI’s normal workflow. But there’s the following hack that triggers the CLI post push check that you can try:

1. On your local amplify project, run amplify env checkout <the-missing-endName-on-Console>
2. open the amplify-meta.json files in both the backend and #current-cloud-backend folder, make sure the providers.awscloudformation does not contain the field `AmplifyAppId", remove it if it’s there.
3. open the team-provider-info.json file, make sure the \<the-missing-endName-on-Console\>.awscloudformation does not contain the field `AmplifyAppId", remove it if it’s there.
4. make a tiny dummy change in the backend, such as adding a space in in the template file of amplify/backend/storage
5. run amplify push
