Hi,I created a very basic Alexa skill (custom type) with a self-signed certificate and HTTPS endpoint. The endpoint is internet accessible and presents a certificate. In the Skill builder checklist (new Alexa Skills Kit developer console) all check marks are green.
However, when invoking the skill in the simulator (test tab), or Alexa says "I am unable to reach the requested skill". I'm not using lambda but rest web service implementation in java. I deployed the web service on ec2 US east region and made it internet accessible. Self certification configuration has also been done after referring to Amazon documentation. The web service is fairly simple and gives only hardcoded response.
Tools and APIs used : alexa skills kit version 1.8.1 openssl,maveneclipse with aws toolkitputty and winscpLanguage : Java with spring boot (Embed tomcat so don't fill to explicitly deploy in some server)Tools for testing : postman (it works in postman)Is it possible that Alexa for some reason doesn’t send the request?
