How to change retry and timeout values for signin/up operations with AWS Cognito Identity module?

Which AWS Services are you utilizing?

Cognito, S3, IAM, CloudFront, etc.

Provide code snippets (if applicable)

I tried setting it like below

let credentialsProvider = AWSCognitoCredentialsProvider(regionType: .USWest2, identityPoolId: Constants.IDENTITY_POOL_ID)
configuration = AWSServiceConfiguration(region: .USWest2, credentialsProvider: credentialsProvider)
configuration.allowsCellularAccess = true
configuration.maxRetryCount = 1
configuration.timeoutIntervalForRequest = 1
configuration.timeoutIntervalForResource = 1
AWSServiceManager.default().defaultServiceConfiguration = configuration

and

    try Amplify.add(plugin: AWSCognitoAuthPlugin())
    try Amplify.add(plugin: AWSS3StoragePlugin())
    try Amplify.configure()

But I still the login requests take about 4 mins to finally fail (when network is disabled)

Environment(please complete the following information):

• SDK Version: Amplify 1.5.0
• Dependency Manager: Cocoapods
• Swift Version : 5.0

Device Information (please complete the following information):

Setting the retry timeout is not currently supported in Amplify. We will take this as a feature request and will update here when we have more info.

Could you please give us the use case of this requirement? Trying to understand why the current retry mechanism is not working for you.

@royjit in my case, 4 minutes of timeout (1 minute for each retry) gives a really bad user experience for the user. Our app gives support for remote areas when if we are luck 3g is available. So for instance, showing a loading spinner on the login view for 4 minutes gives the user the impression that app is broken.

Thanks for the feedback, your use case makes sense. I have merged in your PR and will be released in the next version.
