Answer 1

For Android SDK, setEndpoint solves the problem, although it's been deprecated.

CognitoCachingCredentialsProvider credentialsProvider = new CognitoCachingCredentialsProvider(
                context, "identityPoolId", Regions.US_EAST_1);
AmazonS3 s3 = new AmazonS3Client(credentialsProvider);
s3.setEndpoint("s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com");

Answer 2

Basically the error was because I was using old version of aws-sdk and I updated the version so this error occured.

in my case with node js i was using signatureVersion in parmas object like this :

const AWS_S3 = new AWS.S3({
  params: {
    Bucket: process.env.AWS_S3_BUCKET,
    signatureVersion: 'v4',
    region: process.env.AWS_S3_REGION
  }
});

Then I put signature out of params object and worked like charm :

const AWS_S3 = new AWS.S3({
  params: {
    Bucket: process.env.AWS_S3_BUCKET,
    region: process.env.AWS_S3_REGION
  },
  signatureVersion: 'v4'
});
