🚨 CRITICAL: Versions 2.30.2 and 2.30.3 Deprecated - Breaking Auth Issue

IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED

If you are using v2.30.2 or v2.30.3:

• ❌ DO NOT release your app to production
• ⚠️ Already released? Update to v2.30.4

---

What's Happening

Amplify Android v2.30.2 and v2.30.3 contain a critical authentication bug that causes:

• ✗ Silent session loss - All users lose authentication when upgrading from v2.30.1 or earlier
• ✗ No error signals - No SessionExpiredException or SESSION_EXPIRED hub events are fired
• ✗ Bidirectional impact - Upgrading OR downgrading between affected versions triggers the issue

User Impact

Upon app upgrade, every authenticated user will:

1. Be logged out (non-authenticated state - existing credentials cleared)
2. Receive no notification or error about the session loss
3. Need to manually re-authenticate
