Voice applications (voice apps) are a key element in Voice Assistantecosystems such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, as they provideassistants with a wide range of capabilities that users can invoke with a voicecommand. Most voice apps, however, are developed by third parties - i.e., notby Amazon/Google - and they are included in the ecosystem through marketplacesakin to smartphone app stores but with crucial differences, e.g., the voice appcode is not hosted by the marketplace and is not run on the local device.Previous research has studied the security and privacy issues of voice apps inthe wild, finding evidence of bad practices by voice app developers. However,developers' perspectives are yet to be explored.  In this paper, we report a qualitative study of the experiences of voice appdevelopers and the challenges they face. Our findings suggest that: 1)developers face several risks due to liability pushed on to them by the morepowerful voice assistant platforms, which are linked to negative privacy andsecurity outcomes on voice assistant platforms; and 2) there are key issuesaround monetization, privacy, design, and testing rooted in problems with thevoice app certification process. We discuss the implications of our results forvoice app developers, platforms, regulators, and research on voice appdevelopment and certification.
