I was able to get my app working again by installing the missing module manually like so:

cd node_modules/aws-amplify-react
npm i --save @aws-amplify/api

I can open a PR for this if that is indeed the fix needed, otherwise please let me know how else I can get around this issue

@LoganArnett how did you installed amplify at the first place?

[LoganArnett]

I installed amplify and amplify-react via npm

@LoganArnett Hi just want to check if you still have this issue with the latest version of aws-amplify and aws-amplify-react?
