Describe the bug

We are integrating with amplify authentication in our react native app (runs on expo). We can authenticated a user to sign up or log in at any time, but after logging in we cannot get current user data while they are in the app. The session data does not seem to be saving, there are related issues on this topic but none of which seem to have been closed.

Expected behavior

According to the docs, we should be able to access current user data once they have logged in through the Auth module.

Reproduction steps

This bug is triggered when we make a request to Auth.currentCredentials, Auth.currentUserInfo, Auth.currentUserCredentials etc… The error in the screenshot can be reproduced making that request.

Code Snippet

// Put your code below this line.
const logger = new Logger('foo', 'INFO');
logger.debug('callback data');
Auth.currentAuthenticatedUser(() => console.log(user))

Log output

// Put your logs below this line
[DEBUG] 10:23.915 foo - callback data
[DEBUG] 10:23.918 AuthClass - getting current authenticated user
Fetching pedometer
[DEBUG] 10:23.940 AuthClass - cannot load federated user from auth storage

1 - Already Configured Linking 2 - if (res.type === 'success') { //Sorry I wrote the code wrong here.

It’s not a solution. But more of a cleansing the project. It worked for me. Here what I did

yarn cache clean
pod cache clean
podfile.lock //deleted
pod install

Start the project. Now i’m getting the user details in ios too.🎉 You can close the issue. Thanks you for helping out.
