When I say, "Alexa, open/launch/start Mighty Righty" She responds as intended. When I say "Alexa, ASK mighty Righty who is right, me or you", she doesn't launch the app and just says: "Sorry, I don't know that one." I actually couldn't pass function validation for Amazon app certification because of that (I think). Here is the result of functional test:
1 Fix Required
The skill should not respond to intent requests with empty text or SSML in reprompt while keeping the skill session open.
The skill responds to users with an empty speech reprompt when the skill session is open. Please note that when the skill session is open, the skill should not return empty text or silent ssml response for any supported intent(s) within the skill.
Below are the list of intents that responded with a silent reprompt.
Intent Name - playerBio, Utterance - who is right me or her
Intent Name - playerBio, Utterance - alexa ask mighty righty who is right me or my children
Intent Name - playerBio, Utterance - who is right me or you
I have tried to play with LaunchRequest IntentRequest SessionEndedRequest but I am not a coder. I just followed a tutorial and came this far. I just need to fix that error that Amazon "RUN" test found. And I will be able to publish the app.
