Alexa app permissions card displays incorrectly when requesting address

When requesting approval for permission to access a user's full address, the card that appears in the iOS Alexa app does not provide any way to give permission. In fact the text it displays tells you to refer to the app you are already using.

Here's the full text of the card displayed within the Alexa app:

"XX needs you to consent to permissions. See the Alexa App for more details."

For any normal user, it would be impossible to know how to proceed at this point, or how to grant permission.

The permissions card is being generated with:

this.emit(":tellWithPermissionCard", Language.PermissionsNeedToBeGranted, "read::alexa:device:all:address");

Hello! I'm also facing this issue:

This is how I'm trying to invoke the permission card (using python SDK):

response_builder.set_card(AskForPermissionsConsentCard(permissions=["read::alexa:device:all:address","alexa::devices:all:geolocation:read"]))

And I see the same response on the screen

Hi @Evgeny Balashov and sorry for my delayed reply.

Are you still facing this issue? You can use the speak method to provide additional instructions to the user, such as:

response_builder.
speak("Please give permissions to access your address and geolocation using the alexa app.").
set_card(AskForPermissionsConsentCard(permissions=["alexa::devices:all:address:full:read","alexa::devices:all:geolocation:read"]))

On a different note, I tried to reproduce it using the code snippet you provided and noticed that one of the permissions you are requesting (read::alexa:device:all:address) is not correct. It should be alexa::devices:all:address:full:read instead. A comprehensive list of available permissions can be found over at https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/docs/alexa/smapi/skill-manifest.html#permissions.

Let me know if I can help you in any other way.

Regards,
Barry

Did this get resolved ? I'm getting the same issue and I'm generating the permissions card using the Amazon NodeJS skills kit.

Hi there,

Thanks for posting.

1. Could you please make sure you are enabling permission on the skill settings.

2. Please let me know where did you get the code for generating permission card.
