Why do we get new random problems with SmartThings?

So my Alexa completely stopped functioning with ST, I unlink it, relink it.I log-in with ST through Alexa, find the hub, then all my devices are listed as Object, Object…It didn’t do that a few weeks ago. So I can add these “Objects” but Alexa is still not working with it.

I wonder if the recent change in OAuth has anything to do with these recent problems?

SmartThings OAuth Changes

Hello fellow devs! We are announcing an important change that will impact some application development on the SmartThings platform. Starting February 1st, SmartApps that are not approved and published through official the SmartThings submission process will no longer be able to install OAuth endpoints into others accounts. OAuth endpoints in your own account will continue working. This change is required to protect the privacy and security of customers of 3rd party apps as well as SmartThings customers. In addition, this change provides the ability for published SmartApps to function in global markets as SmartThings expands. Therefore we are asking that all such SmartApps be submitted for review and publication. If you haven’t seen them already, you will find changes to the Web Services…
