User Does Not Exist Error Even Though User Exists in User Pool

Describe the bug The Auth.signIn method now returns a userNotFoundException even though the user exists in the cognito user pool.

I had an existing and fully functioning auth flow working through cognito for my react-native app. However, I, realized that I needed to create and use a new cognito user pool for my app, and delete the old user pool. I achieved this via the amplify-cli. All seemed well when I did a sign up test in the app. The user could create an account, receive a verification code in their email, and the cognito user pool responded appropriately. However, when that same user that was just created attempts to sign in, the Auth.signIn method throws a userNotFoundException error.

To Reproduce Assuming the app already as Auth added In the terminal run:

1. amplify remove auth Confirm removal
2. amplify push Confirm push
3. amplify add auth Select default configuration with social providers and conduct a standard setup
4. Rebuild the App
5. Create a new user via the Auth.signUp method (in app, this is just the standard auth flow)
6. Attempt to sign in with the just-created user.

Expected behavior The Auth.signIn method should return a successful sign in.

Code Snippet Error: error signing in... {code: "UserNotFoundException", name: "UserNotFoundException", message: "User does not exist."}

Context of Auth.signIn method:

import React, { Component, useState, useContext } from 'react'
import {AuthContext} from '../../navigation/Screens';
import {ToggleContext} from './Auth';
import { View, TouchableWithoutFeedback, StyleSheet } from 'react-native'
import { Text } from 'galio-framework';

import Input from '../../components/Auth/Input'
import ActionButton from '../../components/Auth/ActionButton'
import SocialButton from '../../components/Auth/SocialButton';
import GoogleButton from '../../components/Auth/GoogleButton';


// Sign in screen
function SignIn() {
  // Assigns updateAuth function to a variable
  // Assigns toggleAuthType function to a variable
  const updateAuth = useContext(AuthContext);
  const toggleAuthType = useContext(ToggleContext);

  // Username and Password state management via useState hooks
  const [username, setUsername] = useState('');
  const [password, setPassword] = useState('');
  
  // Sign In function
  // Attempts to sign in with given username and password 
  // * Note that Auth.signIn returns a promise in the form of an object
  // Sets current view to the main app if the Auth.signIn promise resolves to a success
  // Logs error and alerts if the Auth.Sign promise resolves to a failure
  async function signIn() {
    try {
      await Auth.signIn(username, password)
