I am unable to play this skill on the simulator #55

Hi,

I am unable to play this audio on the simulator.

It gives me a message "Sorry, this skill is not supported on this device".

It seems the audioplayerinterface is undefined. How do I get rid of this ?

var audioPlayerInterface = ((((event.context || {}).System || {}).device || {}).supportedInterfaces || {}).AudioPlayer; if (audioPlayerInterface === undefined) {

"The service simulator does not support testing the AudioPlayer directives or requests."

You need to test from a real device instead

I could run even audio skills on simulator by replacing lines 20-26 in index.js just by alexa.execute();

The skill will run but no audio will play as the web simulator does not have a component to simulate the on-device audio player. A physical device is needed to test audio skills.
