Was anyone able to find a work-around for this issue? I’ve invested a lot of time on building my app using amplify, and can’t afford to abandon amplify altogether because of this 😦

Hi @josefaidt, do you have any news on this ? we are facing the same issue with amplify 10.3.0 and 10.3.1. The issue is that we cannot really understand what is going wrong as the message is not informative and there is no exhaustive documentation and troubleshooting about the export. Also, the diagnose --send-report stop before sending, that reduce drastically the help we can receive.

Still getting this error:

Could really use a better error message, updated documentation, or a workaround
