Cannot Attach to Backend about amplify-cli

[jordanranz]

Curious what you mean by "pull from Github". Could you elaborate.

awsmobile pull and awsmobile console can only be run in a valid awsmobile project. You generally want to run awsmobile init prior to running these commands.

Could you provide a more verbose error output from the Invalid Signature error you are receiving.

[BrianSHenderson]

I have downloaded the source code from GitHub. I believe aws-export.js is not included on GitHub by default.

Brians-iMac-Pro:nmm-vegas brianhenderson$ awsmobile init <awsmobile-project-id>

failed to link to backend awsmobile project with id = <awsmobile-project-id>

to change the configuration for the awsmobile-cli

$ awsmobile configure aws

Changing the awsmobile configure doesn't make any difference

[UnleashedMind]

Please make sure you are using the same credentials to access aws.
You can do a side by side comparison by
awsmobile configure aws -l
on the two machines and see if they are the same

[BrianSHenderson]

I have exactly the same credentials with awsmobile and aws cli along with the same npm versions of aws-amplify and aws-amplify-react, what else can I check?

[kaustavghosh06]

@BrianSHenderson We've deprecated the awsmobile-cli. Please use the amplify-cli to build your app moving forward or use the https://github.com/awslabs/amplify-mobilehub-migrator to migrate your MobileHub project and then use the amplify-cli.
