How do I turn on the Alexa "Audio Player" interface from the serverless.yml file with the serverless framework?

Question

I am trying to build an Alexa skill with the serverless framework for AWS. https://serverless.com

Does anyone know how to turn on the Alexa "Audio Player" interface from the serverless.yml file?

I can currently add intents but I can't find any documentation on how to add the "Audio Player" interface.

If I turn on the "Audio Player" interface from the Alexa console, when I deploy my serverless code, it turns it off.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

To do this you need to edit the custom / alexa / skills area of your serverless.yml file. Here is a sample of what it should look like.

custom:
  alexa:
    skills:
      - id: 
        manifest:
          publishingInformation:
            locales:
              en-US:
                name: testingServerlesssl
          apis:
            custom:
              endpoint:
                uri: 
              interfaces:
                - type: AUDIO_PLAYER
          manifestVersion: '1.0'

In general, you can make changes in the Alexa Dashboard and then run

sls alexa manifests

which will show you the changes. Then you can find where that area is in the serverless.yml file and cut and paste to make those changes permanent.
