Authenticator does not refresh identity pool credentials

[concavegit]

Describe the bug

I am using the Authenticator to manage my app's login state. After 30 days, the identity pool credentials for my logged in session expire and uploading to S3 causes this error:

function: recoverySuggestion
line: 104
Caused by:
AuthError: Session expired could not fetch AWS Credentials
Recovery suggestion: Invoke Auth.signIn to re-authenticate the user
Caused by:
NotAuthorizedException(properties: AWSCognitoIdentityProvider.NotAuthorizedException.Properties(message: Optional("Refresh Token has expired")), httpResponse: 
Status Code: http_status_400 
 Content-Type: application/x-amz-json-1.1, 
x-amzn-errortype: NotAuthorizedException:, 
x-amzn-requestid: 9c6dc5be-2c1a-4d72-b82e-fc3995b16664, 
Content-Length: 73, 
Date: Sun, 28 Jul 2024 02:31:29 GMT, 
x-amzn-errormessage: Refresh Token has expired, message: Optional("Refresh Token has expired"), requestID: nil)

Note that while the identity pool credentials do not work after 30 days, the user pool functions still seem to work. For example, I can still interact with my data in DynamoDB.

Steps To Reproduce

Create app with authenticator like this:

struct MyApp: App {
    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            Authenticator { state in
                MyView()
            }
        }
    }
}

And have myView call

            let uploadTask = Amplify.Storage.uploadData(
                path: .fromString(uploadS3Key),
                data: someData,
                options: nil
            )

Expected behavior

If the identity pool credentials expire, have Authenticator automatically refresh them or log the user out to have them refresh the credentials.

Hi @concavegit, thanks for opening this issue.

This is a known limitation by how Amplify currently works. However, we will explore adding a way to handle this within the Authenticator component, so I've transferred the issue to the Authenticator repo and tagged it as a Feature Request.

We'll post future updates here.
