**Issue: AWS Amplify DataStore Sync Problem**

**Description**: The AWS Amplify DataStore is not functioning correctly when data is inserted using DataStore.save(). Occasionally, the data does not sync with the server and remains only in the local storage (DynamoDB). After some time, the data eventually syncs with the server.

**Library Versions:**

- @aws-amplify/datastore-storage-adapter: ^1.4.5
- aws-amplify: ^5.3.10 
- react-native:0.68.2

Issue: AWS Amplify DataStore Sync Problem

Description: The AWS Amplify DataStore is not functioning correctly when data is inserted using DataStore.save(). Occasionally, the data does not sync with the server and remains only in the local storage (DynamoDB). After some time, the data eventually syncs with the server.

Library Versions:

• @aws-amplify/datastore-storage-adapter: ^1.4.5
• aws-amplify: ^5.3.10
• react-native:0.68.2

Expected behavior

All data is also synchronised via the datastore

Reproduction steps

1. Create data with DataStore and AWS GraphQL
2. Check the code logs
3. Check the data in DynamoDB, but note that there might be some issues or additional information to review

Hi @vijaykishan312 👋 thanks for raising this issue. I see that you are still using v5 of the aws-amplify library. Is there any reason you are not able to upgrade to v6?

If you have tried to upgrade, do you experience this issue on v6 or the latest version of aws-amplify as well?
