Getting "Missing required field Principal" when adding policy to S3 bucket

Question

I'm following amplify docs on how to configure Storage. When adding the policy to the document I'm getting the following error:

Missing required field Principal

I'm not sure why...?

Policy document (from the docs):

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Action": [
                "s3:GetObject",
                "s3:PutObject",
                "s3:DeleteObject"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:s3:::{enter bucket name}/public/*",
                "arn:aws:s3:::{enter bucket name}/protected/${cognito-identity.amazonaws.com:sub}/*",
                "arn:aws:s3:::{enter bucket name}/private/${cognito-identity.amazonaws.com:sub}/*"
            ],
            "Effect": "Allow"
        },
        {
            "Action": [
                "s3:PutObject"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:s3:::{enter bucket name}/uploads/*"
            ],
            "Effect": "Allow"
        },
        {
            "Action": [
                "s3:GetObject"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:s3:::{enter bucket name}/protected/*"
            ],
            "Effect": "Allow"
        },
        {
            "Condition": {
                "StringLike": {
                    "s3:prefix": [
                        "public/",
                        "public/*",
                        "protected/",
                        "protected/*",
                        "private/${cognito-identity.amazonaws.com:sub}/",
                        "private/${cognito-identity.amazonaws.com:sub}/*"
                    ]
                }
            },
            "Action": [
                "s3:ListBucket"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:s3:::{enter bucket name}"
            ],
            "Effect": "Allow"
        }
    ]
}

You're missing the Principal block, which defines to whom you're granting the permissions. This is the counterpart of the Resource block, which defines what the permissions are for. Take a look at the example bucket policies e.g.:

{
  "Version":"2012-10-17",
  "Statement":[
    {
      "Sid":"PublicRead",
      "Effect":"Allow",
      "Principal": "*",
      "Action":["s3:GetObject"],
      "Resource":["arn:aws:s3:::examplebucket/*"]
    }
  ]
}

Grants read-only permissions to everyone (*).
