In publishing your alexa skill what is the purpose of APP_ID

I want to publish my own skill but I'm confuse to what is 

var APP_ID= //your specific APP_ID

is this code above use for accessing your app_ID so what will happen if the customer want to use my skill? are they not going to get access to my skill? Do i need to keep it undefined? or do I have to put my ID in there?

that's my question, hope you guy's a good DAy!!

Happy coding Much love and Be Blessed..

Solution

  • Whenever alexa call your webservice(or lambda function) it sends you the app-id which enables you to verify the service is actually being called by alexa, and which skill it is, you can not submit a skill without an app-id.
