Hi BuddhaFM,

It looks like a Gradle configuration issue. Please see the following threads that discuss it:
#14 and #54

Great, so I now have to downgrade to "Android Studio 3.1.1 and Gradle tool 2.3.0+ and Gradle distribution jar -4.6-all"

For anyone who does not know, the current version of Android Studio is 4.0 and Gradle is 6.5

Who personally has time and ability to de-bug cross-platform codes, unless you are a multi-billion dollar company?

Btw, it only takes 1 hour to make an Alexa Skill.

Maybe Amazon Fire App Builder should consider updating their 2 year old software.

For instance, fire-app-builder/Application/build.gradle

is riddled with outdated code and errors
