How do I get in Flutter, the cognito custom user attribute for user?
await Amplify.Auth.fetchUserAttributes();
returns only user attributes but not the custom defined ones.
(I have added the attribute to the schema and I am sure it's there, in the AWS UI it's there.)
The fetchUserAttributes function returns a list of AuthUserAttributes including the custom ones you've defined. When you have that list you can iterate through it, and get the attributes you want.
const res = await Amplify.Auth.fetchUserAttributes();
for (var attr in res) {
if (attr.userAttributeKey == CognitoUserAttributeKey.custom('customAttr') {
customAttr = attr.value;
}
}
If the custom attribute isn't there, make sure the user have that attribute.
The issue was that these custom attributes, after they are created, they are not by default readable or writable.
