Describe the bug

If user's clock is in future, user is unable to login and we get a Sentry error reported from aws-amplify lib "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'match')" in the DateUtils.getDateFromHeaderString function

Expected behavior

User should be able to login or amplify lib fails gracefully.

Reproduction steps

1. Set your ccomputer clock in future
2. Access an API Gateway endpoint (might need to have cognito auth behind it not sure)

@hisham I believe we're having this issue too, with unauthenticated users trying to make a public GraphQL call. It only happens to a small portion of users.

How did you figure out the timestamp was in the future? I'm not seeing any sort of timestamp logged in Sentry.

[hisham]

Sentry at the top of the issue has a red box saying they had a problem processing the error, and if you click on it, it will say something like timestamp is in the future.

I ran into issues similar to this (but in different parts of the amplify-js lib) related to people's computer clocks being incorrect. (e.g. #9281).

[cwomack]

@hisham, can you confirm if you started to see this error after upgrading to Amplify v5.2.5? And is the error only happening on browser (i.e. nothing on iOS or Android)?

[hisham]

windows user and 1 android. This is a web app so all in the browser. It seems the error started since I upgraded to 5.3.4 from 5.3.3 2 weeks ago.
