How to Handle Enums in Amplify SDK (Issue with snapshot Casting)?

[Take111]

Description

I am updating from the AppSync SDK and using the Swift files generated by the Amplify CLI. However, I am encountering an issue where the parsing of enums fails.

public var status: HogeStatus {
    get {
        return snapshot["status"]! as! HogeStatus // <- fails
    }
    set {
        snapshot.updateValue(newValue, forKey: "status")
    }
}

Error:

Could not cast value of type ‘__NSCFString’ to ‘HogeStatus’.

It seems that snapshot["status"] is being interpreted as a String. In the AppSync SDK, the value is retrieved as an enum, but in Amplify, it becomes a String.

Is there any way to handle this in Amplify to avoid this issue?

In the AppSync SDK, there was logic to handle enums in GraphQLSelectionSetMapper, but I couldn't find a similar feature in Amplify.

Environments

Amplify CLI 12.13.1
Amplify 2.45.4
