Why won't Alexa find and enable my skill?

My skill says it is live and shows up in the store, but if you try to access/enable it " Alexa, open/enable/launch bracket predictor - it will say that she found some matches. Which are 3 other skills that are not mine and don't have the same name but have "predictor" in the name.

It works in the simulator.

Not sure what else to do.

If I say "Alexa, enable bracket predictor" I get the same response where it suggests 3 other skills

Hello,

You may want to have a look at the CanFulfillIntentRequest:
https://developer.amazon.com/docs/custom-skills/implement-canfulfillintentrequest-for-name-free-interaction.html

This will let Alexa pick up your skill even if it is not enabled, but please note that:

- It is only available in the US (but I can see that your skill is on the Amazon.com store)

- The only way to test the correct implementation is sending manual JSON to it. This will let you understand if the intent has been implemented properly.

- If the above manual test goes fine, you can assume that your Skill will be picked up if Alexa finds it appropriate. (According to the user's request).

Thanks,

Gaetano
