👋 Hi @Nivedipa-MSFT,

✨ This is an AI-generated initial response
🤖 AI-Generated Preliminary Analysis:

This is a known issue: Action.Execute in Adaptive Cards is not reliably supported on Teams mobile clients (iOS & Android), even though it works on desktop/web. Multiple GitHub reports confirm:

• Teams mobile currently supports Adaptive Cards only up to version 1.2.
  Your card uses version 1.4, which may trigger rendering and action problems.
• Action.Execute can show “Something went wrong. Please try again,” especially for long-running tasks or if the card uses newer schema features.
• Even quick backend responses or correct card JSON may not fix mobile issues.

Actionable workarounds:

1. Limit your Adaptive Card schema to version 1.2 for mobile compatibility.
2. Replace Action.Execute with Action.Submit and process actions via standard invoke requests.
3. Always respond to Teams bot invoke requests within 12 seconds.
4. Test cards across all platforms (desktop, web, mobile) before production deployments.

• Mobile schema support
• Action.Execute mobile issues

Apologies, no proper workaround exists until Microsoft updates mobile support. Track open issues for fixes.
