Need help with "@auth" for iOS app in React Native

Question

I have the following schema.graphql in an AWS Amplify react-native iOS project:

```
type NCareReceiver
  @model
  @aws_cognito_user_pools
  @auth(rules: [{ allow: groups, groupsField: "group", operations: [read, create, update, delete] }]) {
  id: ID!
  details: String
  group: NGroup @hasOne
}

type NGroup
  @model
  @aws_cognito_user_pools
  @auth(rules: [{ allow: owner, ownerField: "owner", operations: [read, create, update, delete] }, { allow: public, operations: [read] }]) {
  id: ID!
  name: String
  owner: [String]
}
```

My goal is to have rows in NCareReceiver to only be accessible by the owners listed in the matching NGroup entry.

For example, I can have an NGroup row as:
```
    id: 123
    name: 'My row'
    owner: ['my-guid']
```
My NCareReceiver would be:
```
    id: 456
    details: 'My details'
    group: points to row above
```

When I query using either AppSync or DataStore, I am able to get the appropriate rows in NGroup where my user is listed in "owner" field.  However whenever I query "NCareReceiver" I never get any data back.  No error, and no data.

What am I missing to have dynamic groups work correctly?

Thanks,

Answer

Your issue with the @auth directive in AWS Amplify for your React Native iOS app seems related to the setup of dynamic groups and their alignment with AWS Cognito User Pools. To solve :

* Confirm your @auth rules in the GraphQL schema correctly reflect the intended access patterns. For NCareReceiver, ensure the group aligns with the correct user group in Cognito.
* Verify your AWS Cognito settings, ensuring users are correctly assigned to groups and these groups correspond to what's defined in your NGroup and NCareReceiver types.
* Check for any global authorization rules that might override your specific model-level rules.
