Describe the bug

when I apply to changes
amplify/backend/api/hfaceapp/schema.graphql
it does not reflect on schema of appsync on sandbox environment (always todo schema showing)
but when deploy to amply backend I can see the schema has update

Reproduction steps

add graphql model amplify/backend/api/hfaceapp/schema.graphql
run npx ampx sandbox

Hey @supun19, Thank you for bringing this up. In Gen2, models should be added in the amplify/data/resource.ts file instead of the schema.graphql file. Please refer to this section of the documentation for detailed instructions on setting up data.
