AWS Cognito Invalid identity pool configuration

Question

I am using the AWS Javascript API and trying to get the assigned cognito id:

AWS.config.credentials.get(function(err) {
    if (!err) {
        console.log(\

Another - probably less common - reason: Make sure that you are actually using an identity pool and if not, remove the identity pool id from your aws-exports.js.

I was getting this error after adding federated sign ins to my user pool (not identity pool). For reasons unknown my config included an aws_cognito_identity_pool_id. Removing this id solved the error for me.
