Hi John,
Yes, they have a library of images at the correct sizes to choose
from. Since it was a drag and drop web interface, I instantly called
Aira and let them do the dragging. Alt tags would have helped with
browsing, but there's also the matter of foreground, background,
border color selection once the dragging is finished.
The call took about 10 minutes and was very satisfying.
Since it was a one-time thing, I did not investigate command-line alternatives.
The end result of this was an icons.zip file containing two icons,
one for the smaller 108x108 size and one for the larger 512x512 size.
I then copied those to an s3 bucket and referenced them in my
skill.json file like this:
"smallIconUri": "http://s3.amazonaws.com/violin-trivia/icon_108_A2Z.png";,
"largeIconUri": "http://s3.amazonaws.com/violin-trivia/icon_512_A2Z.png";,

For anyone that has worked with Alexa skills, how did you handle the image requirements for the publishing process? I've also thought Alexa skills could provide an accessible app development experience for me with not being able to see the visual UI, where one is not included, and have begun working with the Alexa Python SDK. I'm thinking AIRA would be an option for this. There is Amazon Accessibility but I believe they are just on the consumer facing shopping site? I still might contact Amazon to make suggestions. Last I checked they had a bunch of premade icons that could be selected, but no alt text for them so it was impossible to choose one effectively with a screen reader. I'd like to have a way to easily find one of those icons that would match the idea of the skill. I'm also wondering if the same icon library is available for fire OS apps.
