How to log withAuthenticator to understand why this error is occurring when I try to sign in?

Question

I am trying to sign in with a user that I have just created. Cognito even shows this user in the user pool:
![user pool](/media/postImages/original/IMjM-rlc9IQK-CRaFmkNzCAQ)

And the identity pool id matches up between the identity pool section of Cognito and aws-exports.js under 'aws_cognito_identity_pool_id'.

The code I have used is all from this tutorial and I have followed every step (https://blog.logrocket.com/aws-amplify-react-native-tutorial-examples/)

Can anyone help me work out why I am not able to progress to the signed in state? Providing some logs here would be helpful, but I am not used to withAuthenticator so I'm not sure whats the best way to do this.

```
import { StatusBar } from 'expo-status-bar';
import { StyleSheet, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import { Amplify } from 'aws-amplify';
import awsExports from './src/aws-exports';
import { withAuthenticator } from '@aws-amplify/ui-react-native';
Amplify.configure(awsExports);
function App() {
  return (
    
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    backgroundColor: '#fff',
    alignItems: 'center',
    justifyContent: 'center',
  },
});

export default withAuthenticator(App)
```

Answer

As your aim is to investigate and analyze API calls rather than usage patterns, the CloudTrail logs would be a valuable resource. CloudTrail captures a subset of API calls made to Amazon Cognito, recording them as events. This includes calls initiated from the Amazon Cognito console as well as those made through code calls to the Amazon Cognito API operations
You can find additional information about CloudTrail and Cognito in this [link](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/logging-using-cloudtrail.html) as well as information about the CloudTrail Cognito sign-in events in this [link](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/understanding-amazon-cognito-entries.html)

Answer

Amazon Cognito supports several AWS services for monitoring and maintaining the reliability, availability, and performance of your organization and user activity:

**AWS CloudTrail**: Captures API calls from the Cognito console and code calls to the Cognito API operations. It records details like the IP address, who made the request, and when it was made, especially during user authentication events.

**Amazon CloudWatch Logs**: Allows you to send fine-grained logs of user activity to a log group, which can be helpful for troubleshooting issues like email and SMS message delivery to users.

**Amazon CloudWatch Metrics**: Enables you to monitor, report, and take automatic actions in near real-time based on various metrics related to your Amazon Cognito user pools. You can create dashboards or alarms based on these metrics.

**Amazon CloudWatch Logs Insights**: Allows you to configure CloudTrail to send events to CloudWatch for monitoring Amazon Cognito CloudTrail log files.

In summary, these AWS services provide comprehensive monitoring and logging capabilities for Amazon Cognito, allowing you to track user activity, API calls, and various metrics to ensure the reliability and performance of your authentication and authorization systems.

Additional information on how to setup and enable those logs can be found in Cognito Developer Guide [Logging and monitoring](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/monitoring.html)
