CLI says it's not avaiable in a region, but I can use it via console

[Eduardogbg]

Describe the bug
If I amplify init a project with a sa-east-1 profile, it will work. I'll be able to add apis, authentication and etc. However, when I try to amplify add hosting it will yield a "Missing required key 'appId' in params" error. Then if I try to amplify init --appId with an Amplify app id that I already created via console in the region, it will say "Amplify service is not available in the region sa-east-1
init failed".

That doesn't make any sense, considering that I just created an app via the console, and all the features are available using it (for example, I can create a fullstack amplify app clicking the quick start examples).

Amplify CLI Version
4.29.0

To Reproduce
Try to amplify init --appId with an app id in sa-east-1

Expected behavior
To work, since I can do all the amplify cli things via the console, I expected them to work via cli.

Hi @Eduardogbg

As the appId you created via console is in region sa-east-1 and amplify-cli doesn't support the region for amplify service ,thats why you are facing this issue.
I have mark this as enhancement and 👍 to get this prioritized.

Hi ALL! Any news about this issue? We really need to use São Paulo through the CLI! Thank you!!

Hi! Any news about this issue?

Kind of disapointing to know about that on CLI.

It has been 2021 already...

@akshbhu @renebrandel Any news? Is there any way to circumvent this meanwhile?

[thiagoalves]

I manually edited /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@aws-amplify/cli/node_modules/amplify-provider-awscloudformation/lib/aws-regions.js and voilà... it worked!

Let's not let this thread be forgotten!! We need the sa-east-1 to be as native as possible with amplify!
