Alexa skill not invoked in the Amazon Alexa app, but it works in the development console

When the skill is under development, I can invoke it in the development console. In the Echo or the Amazon Alexa app the skill is not invoking.

The skill is showing under the skills & games tab in the app and it is enabled.

Anybody knows how to solve this issue?

How do I know if my Alexa skills are enabled?

Once on the “All Skills” page, just look at the upper right of the screen and you will see a link to “Your Skills.” Paydirt! Tap that link and you will be transported to a page listing all the skills you have enabled for Amazon Alexa on your Echo or your Echo Dot.

This could be because of the language you have selected in the Alexa app or Echo device. If you have developed the skill in English (India) and if you app/Echo device is configured with English (US). The skill won't work, just like what you are experiencing.

Make sure that the Alexa app, your Echo device and the skill you developed are all in same language.

I was also facing the same problem when I was trying to get it done using alexa app on mobile. To solve this problem change your device language(mobile phone language from settings) to the language of the skill which you have developed(in my case it was English(UK)) and then restart the alexa app.
