I can't see my elasticbeanstalk application in the browser

Question

I have followed AWS's instructions for deploying a django application using the ebcli.

It is important to note, I think, that after running eb init I am prompted to select a reigon, enter my credentials, and set my instance. Afterwhich I receive feedback that my application has been created. I checked the AWS console on the browser and I see nothing. Yes, I checked all regions.

I found out that after doing eb list and eb status that the environment wasn't actually created in the eb init step so I referenced this answer: AWS Elastic Beanstalk : the command eb list shows no environments

Running eb create --single allowed the application to upload and I could access via the link provided. However, this for some reason is not attached to the instances in my user and cannot see it in the browser. Why is it that I cannot see my application in the AWS console despite it existing and running currently?

Here is the output of eb status

Environment details for: ****
  Application name: *****
  Region: *****
  Deployed Version: app-2ecd-200609_120851

Are you sure you are deploying to the same account using CLI as the account you use in Console? — Marcin, Jun 09 '20 at 03:23
I'm pretty sure, in the sense that I provided my credentials like the SECRET and ID. There isn't a great way to confirm this just using the ebcli, however — frei, Jun 09 '20 at 04:04
the only possible mixup could be, it asks for `aws-access-id` and `aws-secret-key` and i may have thought that the access-id was the same as the access key id provided with the credentials. I believe this is correct, however, as I saw someone do it from a video and just copied them — frei, Jun 09 '20 at 04:06
and when you use aws cli [describe-environments](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/elasticbeanstalk/describe-environments.html) can you find your EB env, or it also does not show like in console? — Marcin, Jun 09 '20 at 04:09
i think i resolved it. it turns out that there was an existing ~/.aws/config that was being used — frei, Jun 09 '20 at 04:55
Glad to hear. So it was different account after all? If so, I can make an answer for future reference? — Marcin, Jun 09 '20 at 04:56
No problem. I added the answer for future reference. Thank you for letting me know. — Marcin, Jun 09 '20 at 07:18
@frei it be polite to accept the answer considering the time was taken to help you. — FabricioG, Feb 17 '21 at 04:15

Based on the comments.

The issue was the use of different account in eb cli and aws console.

The solution was to use the same account.

This question was already answered. In the comment section it was determined that the beanstalk application was deployed to the wrong account. Please avoid answering old questions that have been answered. – Nick Allen Feb 10 '22 at 16:36
