AWS push notification service integration error

I am trying to integrate Amazon Push Notifications to my iPhone app. I did follow the tutorial provided here correctly.

I am getting this error when creating the Platform EndPoint. (Seems a permission issue with identity pool???)

CognitoIdentityCredentials is not authorized to perform: SNS:CreatePlatformEndpoint

Full message:
