@michaeljajou @okharajpoot @edgillett Thanks for reporting and following up with additional information. We are working to reproduce this issue and identify the root cause.

In the meantime, a potential work-around would be to detect this state by checking to if both Auth.getCurrentUser() == nil and Auth.fetchAuthSession() -> isLoggedIn == true and then call Amplify.Auth.signOut() to return to a proper signed out state.

@atierian any update on this issue? Just received the same issue from another user after they purchased a new phone and restored from iCloud backup.
