Standard button taps not working on actual device

Report · Oct 22, 2019

Hi,

I've been playing around with XD's Alexa protyping.

I've managed to get a very simple prototype deployed to my Echo Spot (model VN94DQ). I am a paid Adobe XD account in case that affects deployment.

Voice commands and standard Tap actions work in Peview and on the device and allow me to go from board to board as well as playback the page name. However, the additional standard prototyping action to Tap to go to the other artboard does not seem to work. It works when I'm in Preview but not on the actual device. I've removed the animation transitions to keep things as simple as possible.

Does tapping not work on real devices or am I missing something? Maybe not on Amazon Spots but on Shows?

I first tried it using element copied from the VUI Kit but went even simplier and made my own 2 page artboard tests with a title (that uses the Amazon Ember font), button and placeholder ovals to trigger voice based action navigations.

Attaching some pics. Ironically, wasn't allowed to attach .xd files.

I haven't been able to find a demo of both of the actions being used on a device in any XD resources (blog posts, videos, etc.) and I thought I'd ask before spinning my wheels on this for too long.

-> As far as i know, on iOS/Android Devices, but not on the real/final Voice-Devices. You just can design/test Voice Prototypes in XD. But also check the XD Online Help for this issue.

I see, thanks. I wish Adobe would point this out if that's the case, at least in the Alexa Preview Plugin upload flow. I'll check the Online Help.
