Pushing an image to ECR, getting "Retrying in ... seconds"

I recently created a new repository in AWS ECR, and I'm attempting to push an image. I'm copy/pasting the directions provided via the "View push commands" button on the repository page. I'll copy those here for reference:

1. aws ecr get-login-password --region us-west-2 | docker login --username AWS --password-stdin 123456789.dkr.ecr.us-west-2.amazonaws.com

("Login succeeded")

2. docker build -t myorg/myapp .

3. docker tag myorg/myapp:latest 123456789.dkr.ecr.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/myorg/myapp:latest

4. docker push 123456789.dkr.ecr.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/myorg/myapp:latest

However, when I get to the docker push step, I see:

> docker push 123456789.dkr.ecr.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/myorg/myapp:latest
The push refers to repository [123456789.dkr.ecr.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/myorg/myapp]

I'm wondering if this has something to do with the permissions/policies associated with this repository. Right now there are no statements attached to this repository. Is that the missing part? If so, what would that statement look like? I've tried this, but it had no effect:

{
  "Version": "2008-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "AllowPutImage",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::123456789:root"
      },
      "Action": "ecr:PutImage"
    }
  ]
}

Bonus Points: I eventually want to use this in a CDK CodeBuildAction. I was getting the same error as above, so I check to see if I was getting the same result in my local terminal, which I am. So if the policy statement needs to be different for use in the CDK CodeBuildAction those details would be appreciated as well.

Thank you in advance for and advice.

I was having the same problem when trying to upload the image manually using the AWS and Docker CLI. I was able to fix it by going into ECR -> Repositories -> Permissions then adding a new policy statement with principal:* and the following actions:

"ecr:BatchGetImage",
"ecr:BatchCheckLayerAvailability",
"ecr:CompleteLayerUpload",
"ecr:GetDownloadUrlForLayer",
"ecr:InitiateLayerUpload",
"ecr:PutImage",
"ecr:UploadLayerPart"

Be sure to add more restrictive principals. I was just trying to see if permissions were the problem in this case and sure enough they were.
