I would like to find help with model generation on Android. Is it possible to change the generated path of models in the app module to another module?

Hi @prime badge! Are you using Amplify Gen 1 or Gen 2?

With Gen 2, you can specify the output folder of your models when you run the generate command (https://docs.amplify.aws/android/start/quickstart/#7-read-and-write-data). But I don't think it's possible for Gen 1 (https://docs.amplify.aws/gen1/android/start/getting-started/generate-model/) but I will double check.

Generate model files - Android - AWS Amplify Gen 1 Documentation

Oops I actually stand corrected @prime badge. Looks like Gen 1 does support specifiying the output directory as per https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-codegen/issues/55

Here's the example that I used:
amplify codegen models --output-dir app

Is there a problem if i manually move that folder to another module?
