Amplify Auth and Android: how to get guest session token?

1.5k views Asked by At

I have an Android app using Amplify Auth. I am able to use guest access and secret keys, but not the session token. Postman requires a session token when using temporary credentials.

As per the Amplify documentation, I use this code to get the keys:

Amplify.Auth.fetchAuthSession(
    result -> {
        Log.i(TAG, "inside getGuestCredentials()...result....." + result.toString());

        AWSCognitoAuthSession cognitoAuthSession = (AWSCognitoAuthSession) result;
        Log.i(TAG, "Is user signed in: " + cognitoAuthSession.isSignedIn());

        switch (cognitoAuthSession.getIdentityId().getType()) {
            case SUCCESS:
                Log.i(TAG, "Guest IdentityId: " + cognitoAuthSession.getIdentityId().getValue());
                Log.i(TAG, "Guest access key: " + cognitoAuthSession.getAWSCredentials().getValue().getAWSAccessKeyId());
                Log.i(TAG, "Guest secret key: " + cognitoAuthSession.getAWSCredentials().getValue().getAWSSecretKey());
                String sessionToken = ((AWSSessionCredentials) mobileClient.getCredentials()).getSessionToken();
                Log.i(TAG, "Guest sessionToken: " + sessionToken);
                break;
            case FAILURE:
                Log.i(TAG, "failure Guest IdentityId not present because: " + cognitoAuthSession.getIdentityId().getError().toString());
                break;
            default:
                Log.i(TAG, "default guest session: " + cognitoAuthSession.toString());
                break;
        }
    },
    error -> Log.i(TAG, error.toString())
);

I then use an instance of AWSMobileClient (which I get using the escape hatch) to get a session token.

This worked for a while, but suddenly I started getting this 403 message:

"Message": "User: arn:aws:sts::xxxxxx:assumed-role/amplify-xxxxxx-unauthRole/CognitoIdentityCredentials is not authorized to perform: execute-api:Invoke on resource: arn:aws:execute-api:xxxxxyyyyyyzzzz"

How can I get the session token?
