My phone does not allow incoming calls while tasker is running

Just recently I was getting calls announced by Tasker but then it would immediately end call. I spent 2 days with my network provider thinking it was the phone. I tried my sim in a new phone and had no issues. 

So I factory reset my phone and once everthing was reloaded without any permissions being given, it worked. Gave tasker the requested permissions and it faulted again. So I did some problem solving and factory reset again. Then loaded app by app back on to the phone. testing after each install.

This is how I discovered that if I don't give Tasker permission for the phone (send/recieve SMS or make and receive calls), I don't have an issue How ever I have a number of events that use Geofences to send SMS. So can we please assist in fixing this issue.

Hi. That is very strange. Is that maybe a ROM bug? I've never received that report before. Do you maybe have a profile/task in your setup that blocks calls?

No, I don't have any profiles to block calls.

I am using the non rooted phone Galaxy S8+. 

Funny thing is that even without tasker having the permissions for phone the sms profiles still work.

And if you disable Tasker momentarily (Tasker > Menu > Disable Tasker) does it still do that?
