Template JSON seems to refer to "version" but Amazon documentation is different #13

The Amazon documentation here:

https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/docs/alexa/alexa-presentation-language/import-export-apl-documents.html#import-apl-document

And here:

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/G/01/mobile-apps/dex/ask-apl/c3e17f7b-cheat-sheets/APL-CS-2023-3.pdf

Refer to "version" as being the version number of APL which is like "2023.3". The sample uses "1.6". It could be the reson many Echo SHow 5 3rd Gen people cannot use the code because this device does not yet support "2023.3".

Has this been tested using such a version number? And what does "1.6" refer to?

See https://community.home-assistant.io/t/alexa-skill-to-display-lovelace-dashboards-on-echo-show/397632/87 for more information. It would be nice to understand if this is incorrect and get it working on 3rd Gen Show 5.

This makes it more clear. "version" 1.6 is way old. See:
