Description

I followed the instructions here: https://docs.localstack.cloud/user-guide/aws/amplify/

Running localstack at 3.2.0. Amplify is 12.10.1.

When I run amplify init --use-localstack true, it seems to work, however this shows up in the localstack logs:

2024-03-17T22:20:02.415  INFO --- [   asgi_gw_1] localstack.request.aws     : AWS amplify.ListApps => 200

2024-03-17T22:20:02.536  WARN --- [   asgi_gw_0] l.aws.protocol.serializer  : Response object BackendEnvironment contains a member which is not specified: appId

When I run amplify push --use-localstack true, I get:

✖ There was an error pulling the backend environment dev.
🛑 Stack with id amplify-amptest-dev-162002 does not exist

Research direction

Start with the Amplify LocalStack instructions linked in the issue and reproduce the commands with LocalStack 3.2.0 and Amplify 12.10.1. Compare the logs from amplify init --use-localstack true with the failure from amplify push --use-localstack true, focusing on the missing backend environment and reported stack. Done means initialization and push complete without the missing-stack error or serializer warning.
