Getting user attributes from currentAuthenticatedUser() function when user signs in through Google

See original GitHub issue

Which Category is your question related to?

Auth / Cognito

Amplify CLI Version

6.0.0

What AWS Services are you utilizing?

Auth / Cognito

Provide additional details e.g. code snippets

In my app, the user can sign in using Google. I use Auth.federatedSignIn({ provider: "Google" }) to login. This works fine.

Problem is when I need to read the user’s attributes. As per the documentation, we need to use Auth.currentAuthenticatedUser() to read the user attributes. But I find that if the user signs up using google, then this function does not return attributes key in the returned object.

Question is how to read the attributes of a user that has logged in through Google.
