Describe the bug

Describe the bug
When following the official Amplify Android logging setup guide, the CloudWatch Logging Plugin never sets the LoggingCategory state to CONFIGURED. As a result, calls to Amplify.Logging.getPlugin("awsCloudWatchLoggingPlugin") fail with a Failed to get plugin because initialization previously failed exception, even though the plugin is added and configured in code.

Other plugins (for example, the Auth Plugin) properly update the category’s state to CONFIGURED upon a successful configure(). However, in the LoggingCategory implementation, there is no corresponding state update, and this leads to ongoing initialization and usage issues.

Expected behavior
After the plugin is successfully configured, the LoggingCategory should be set to CONFIGURED—similar to how other categories (e.g., Auth) behave—allowing calls to retrieve the plugin instance without failing.

Additional context
Referencing lines in Category.java#L78-L103 and LoggingCategory.java#L138-L143. The call to update the category’s state to CONFIGURED appears missing from the Logging plugin’s setup routine.

[mattcreaser]

Hi @giacomocarrozzo thanks for bringing this to our attention. We should be able to roll out a fix for this quickly.

[zontaluca]

@mattcreaser In which release is this fix planned to be released? 2.27.5?

[mattcreaser]

Hi @zontaluca this was included in release 2.27.3. It seems there is an oversight in the release notes script that missed this commit, but it is released. I'll update the notes manually.

I'll close this issue now, let us know if you need anything else.
