This article is well written, the Amplify docs still have a long way to go... This was not an easy thing to figure out just out of the docs.

The main things that tripped me up were that the sequence in which to add Auth first with Cognito user pools and THEN adding the API with the API key made a big difference.

The second thing that tripped me up was in the amplify CLI menus
[space to select] and [enter] to confirm choices... When you've gone through the flow 10 times you habitually scroll to an option and hit enter, and in the back of your mind that should have been selected...it was not.

Noob mistake, but maybe others can learn from it.
@robert , thanks for this article!
