The problem is require doesn't support ES6 modules.

dts-gen/lib/run.ts

Line 77 in bff1841

    
           result = guess.generateModuleDeclarationFile(args.module, require(args.module));

The solution in #42 (comment) uses @babel/register:

The require hook will bind itself to node's require and automatically compile files on the fly.

Run npm install @babel/core @babel/register --save-dev
Add to the top of lib/run.js

require("@babel/register")({
  ignore: [],
  presets: ["INSERT YOUR PRESET HERE"]
});

I used module:metro-react-native-babel-preset as my preset.

Run npm run build
Run npm link
Run dts-gen -m aws-amplify-react-native

However, it kept on wanting me to install more and more packages, aws-amplify-react-native -> aws-amplify -> react-native.
Finally, it crashed with an Invariant Violation: __fbBatchedBridgeConfig is not set, cannot invoke native modules at invariant error.

This seems to be too complex a use-case for dts-gen so I'm going to give up for now.

ETA: I hit "close issue" by mistake.
