Describe the bug
When I run amplify publish, I get this error/output:
✔ Zipping artifacts completed.
✖ Deployment failed! Please report an issue on the Amplify Console GitHub issue tracker at https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-console/issues.
🛑 identity.expiration.getTime is not a function
This error only happens on @aws-amplify/cli version 14.1.x. Downgrading to 14.0.x works without this error.
In my scenario, there have not been any backend changes when I tried to publish, only frontend changes. It's a Amplify Gen 1 v5 project.
Expected behavior
It should work without an issue like in Amplify CLI 14.0
Reproduction steps
- Install Amplify CLI
npm i -g @aws-amplify/cli - Init Amplify Gen 1 project
amplify init - Configure AWS credentials accordinlgy
- Add hosting
amplify hosting add - Cannot even publish because the error already appeared at this step:
🛑 identity.expiration.getTime is not a function

Additional information
I got the error on an existing project but to find out if it was reproducible, I also got that error before I could even try amplify publish in a completely fresh project (see reproduction steps above).
