APL Known Issues and Bugs

Please refer to below list of known issues and bugs for Alexa Presentation Language.

1. SendEvent command cannot be used inside an ExecuteCommands directive. SendEvent can only be used inside aTouchWrapper component's onPress handler.
2. SpeakItem always highlights text in blue.
3. Built-in scroll intents, page intents and MoreIntent don't work with APL documents. To enable scrolling on an APLScrollView or Sequence component, assign a value to it's id property.
4. In the skill developer console test simulator, scrolling up using the built-in scroll up intent does not work. This does work on Alexa devices.
5. If a SpeakItem command and a PlayMedia/ControlMedia command are used in a Sequential command both the video playback will interrupt speech. When this bug is fixed, the two commands will run one after the other.
6. The PlayMedia command's source only supports 1 videoURL right now.
7. A PlayMedia command will not replace a currently running video.
8. For ControlMedia command, the seek property does not respect relative offsets at this time. When a seek value is supplied, the video always seeks to the absolute position of the value in the video. When this issue is fixed, theControlMedia's seek command will respect the current offset of the video and add the seek value to it.
9. For the ControlMedia command, the next value does not work reliably.
10. On Fire TV devices, if a TouchWrapper is selected using the remote while outputSpeech is playing, the outputSpeech continues playing even after a new response appears. Any outputSpeech associated with the new response is played after the previous response's outputSpeech is finished.
11. In the skill developer console test simulator, using SpeakItem with the AutoPage command does not work reliably. This does work on Alexa devices.
