Flashbriefing still not working after Sonos latest update

I updated my Sonos app to the latest version and skills like flash briefing still don’t work. Alexa responds with “Heres your flash briefing” but then goes silent. Is anyone else having this issue? I was under the impression this bug was going to be fixed on the latest update.

    Tell Alexa to discover devices... give it a moment or two, then try the Flash Briefing again. I didn't need to do any software updates (I was already at the latest) after the Flash Briefing functionality was enabled, but before I did the Discover Devices bit, I ran into the same issue.
