Indeed. Amplify sounded great on paper and I was really excited to use it in my latest project but it’s simply not living up to its promise.

I spent one month trying to get Sign in with Apple to work with Amplify + Cognito.

Frustrated and annoyed, I gave Firebase a chance. I had it working in 40 minutes.

Now the entire project is using Firebase.

Same here - and I like AWS and am on AWS for the most part. I never figured out Apple / iOS sign in. Their ECS container / S3 etc stuff works totally fine.

Had the exact same experience. Excited about Amplify, but ran into bugs that hadn't been fixed for months blocking AmplifyJS social login from working as documented.

Switched to Firebase, and it all just worked.
