question

Without looking at your skill directly it's hard to tell what the issue is, but check through your launch requests and make sure all of your intents are able to be called without any issue. I recommend reaching out to us here with your skill ID where we will be able to assist further.

Jason,

I just went to the developer console and the functional test did not fail so I figured you did something so I submitted... then i went to the "Certification page" (https://developer.amazon.com/alexa/console/ask/certify/amzn1.ask.skill.f000258f-8518-46f9-8a5c-8a579118dca5/development/en_US/functional-test)

and I see the same error

The skill does not successfully respond to one or more launch requests from Alexa. Please note that the skill should handle all launch requests from Alexa gracefully without an error response from the endpoint.

Understanding handling launch requests:

and am confused.

I have never done anything with any launch requests.

and this page... from "Click here" is not insightful at all...

LaunchRequest

Your service receives a LaunchRequest when the user invokes the skill with the invocation name, but does not provide any command mapping to an intent. For example:

User: Alexa, open Daily Horoscopes

For skills that just do one thing (such as telling a joke), the service can take action without requesting more information from the user. Services that need more information from the user may need to respond with a prompt. For guidance on how to design good prompts, see What Alexa Says.

In this Java example, the service writes information to a log and then calls a method to return a welcome response.

A LaunchRequest always starts a new session.

I've got the same issue. My solution was to add an Errorhandler like this:

const ErrorHandler = {
    canHandle() {
      return true;
    },
    handle(handlerInput, error) {
      console.log(`ERROR HANDLED: ${error.message}`);
      const requestAttributes = handlerInput.attributesManager.getRequestAttributes();
      return handlerInput.responseBuilder
        .speak(requestAttributes.t('ERROR_MESSAGE'))
        .reprompt(requestAttributes.t('ERROR_MESSAGE'))
        .getResponse();
    },
};

Don't forget to register this Handler as ".addErrorHandlers(ErrorHandler)"
