env_check.py - issue with boto3 - installed version of boto3 doesn't support Sidewalk AWS APIs.

Hello, I am having the following error returned when trying to run env_check.py

[ERROR] FAIL! installed version of boto3 doesn't support Sidewalk AWS APIs. Did you install requirements.txt?

I checked requirements.txt and noticed that boto3 is missing from the file. I then added it to requirements.txt I then ran the script again. Same error returned I then tried

pip3 install boto3 --upgrade

Which did update it from 1.26.83 to 1.28.40 However it still failed. I already checked the version installed on my machine and it should be a compatible version with sidewalk.
