Unable to solve functionality Validation (Passed 14/30 tested devices)

Yop Guys :)

For the first time I have errors when publishing my app.

I understand the error message but I don't know how to solve it.

Something changes in your validation, because my previous releases where accepted without problems.

All Amazon TV tests failed. I don't have a Fire TV so I can't test on a real device.

Does the text to speech to be compliant with Alexa?

Do I have to add an audio policy (permission)?

There is a dependency before using the audio in my app: it's to install the text-to-speech package of Android Google or other TTS engines (Samsung...).

Please help me or I will remove the compatibility with TV...

Thanks a lot for any help.

Listen Amazon, this week-end, I'm ready to promote my app and I really think I will make the promotion on Google Ads instead of Amazon. So that money you will never have it and even more: other future promotions you will probably never have it if you don't help me. Another point: if my app becomes paid or my other apps become paid, I will think twice before coming on your store. And even more, I will also think twice before buying something in your store and I'm a regular client. I hope you have hears to hear.

My application is live because I found the solution by removing Amazon Fire TV, not because you helped me.

Nobody uses Amazon app store anymore. 95% apps on an Android platform are installed from Google's play store. So, it doesn't matter whether Amazon pays attention or not. Also, App developers do not update their apps uploaded on Amazon app store anymore.

So, it's a dead platform.

I've contact Amazon Support on Facebook and explained the situation. Maybe we have to create a Facebook group to explain it. I'm pretty sure that Jeff or someone else will do something.

For info, I have delete my upcoming release to recreate it and removed all Amazon Fire TV (not supported). Still waiting the result of the validation process.

Rem: I had a warning (for several months) in the manisfest popup screen, that Amazon Fire TV requires minimum API 22 but I'm on 21. So I removed them and will see if all goes well. If yes, I will maybe move the minimum requirement to API 22 in next versions or will provide several APKs.
