Description

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create new app. In my case I am using a Flutter app (flutter create my_amplify_app) but I think this is likely reproducible on all platforms
2. Run npm create amplify@latest to create the backend
3. Deploy the app in sandbox with the standard config. For Flutter: npx ampx sandbox --outputs-format dart --outputs-out-dir lib
4. Observe lib/amplify_outputs.dart contains the following under "data" for auth modes. Observe that authorization_types contains "AMAZON_COGNITO_USER_POOLS"

"default_authorization_type": "AWS_IAM",
"authorization_types": [
  "AMAZON_COGNITO_USER_POOLS"
],

5. Deploy the app in sandbox with the old config. For Flutter: npx ampx sandbox --outputs-format dart --outputs-out-dir lib --config-version 0
6. Observe that lib/amplifyconfiguration.dart contains the following under "AppSync". Observe that data_AMAZON_COGNITO_USER_POOLS.AuthMode is "AWS_IAM". "AMAZON_COGNITO_USER_POOLS" is not listed as an auth mode.

"Default": {
  "ApiUrl": "https://<id>.appsync-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/graphql",
  "Region": "us-east-1",
  "AuthMode": "AWS_IAM",
  "ClientDatabasePrefix": "data_AWS_IAM"
},
"data_AMAZON_COGNITO_USER_POOLS": {
  "ApiUrl": "https://<id>.appsync-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/graphql",
  "Region": "us-east-1",
  "AuthMode": "AWS_IAM",
  "ClientDatabasePrefix": "data_AMAZON_COGNITO_USER_POOLS"
}

Expected behavior: Both config formats should contain an auth mode of "AMAZON_COGNITO_USER_POOLS".

Actual behavior: "AMAZON_COGNITO_USER_POOLS" is only listed as an auth mode when using the new config.

Hey @Jordan-Nelson 👋 thanks for raising this! marking as a bug

If I'm understanding this correctly, this is the change expected in the old config?

"Default": {
  "ApiUrl": "https://<id>.appsync-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/graphql",
  "Region": "us-east-1",
  "AuthMode": "AWS_IAM",
  "ClientDatabasePrefix": "data_AWS_IAM"
},
"data_AMAZON_COGNITO_USER_POOLS": {
  "ApiUrl": "https://<id>.appsync-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/graphql",
  "Region": "us-east-1",
- "AuthMode": "AWS_IAM",
+ "AuthMode": "AMAZON_COGNITO_USER_POOLS",
  
  "ClientDatabasePrefix": "data_AMAZON_COGNITO_USER_POOLS"
}

Please confirm.
