Auth.signOut does not sign out the user in React Native

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug Using Auth.signOut(); per the documentation does not sign the user out in a React Native application i.e. Auth.currentAuthenticatedUser(); still returns the same user as before while the then callback receives undefined as parameter. Instead Auth.currentAuthenticatedUser().then(user => user.signOut()); does work as expected.

To Reproduce Create a fresh install using the official Amplify documentation for React Native (https://aws-amplify.github.io/docs/js/start?platform=react-native). Then

Sign up a new user.
Verify this user.
Sign this user in.
Run Auth.currentAuthenticatedUser();, this will return the user.
Run Auth.signOut();, this will return undefined.
Run Auth.currentAuthenticatedUser();, this will still return the user.

Expected behavior I would expect Auth.signOut(); to automatically sign out the currently authenticated user.

I don’t think the problem is solved yet, at least not for me. I just used Auth.currentAuthenticatedUser() to get the current user. You can then sign out the user using the returned user object.
