%app_apk_public_source_dirs() returned by the App Info action contains variable names and duplicates when Package/App Name is provided through a variable

App Info output variable %app_apk_public_source_dirs() returns the paths to split APK files belonging to an app. When App Info receives the package name through a variable, for example when in the enter task of a profile triggered by event New Package or Package Updated which passes the package name in %evtprm2, the output contains duplicates and variable names %app_apk_public_source_dirs[numbers up to 10].

For example, we install Simple Flashlight from the Play Store (so it consists of multiple APKs) and set Package/App Name in App Info to com.simplemobiletools.flashlight. %app_apk_public_source_dirs() returns:

/data/app/~~B7hw9LsIMvoKBAxtESVvqw==/com.simplemobiletools.flashlight-zfPGc_nUh-lfXyne8IYBXw==/split_config.en.apk,/data/app/~~B7hw9LsIMvoKBAxtESVvqw==/com.simplemobiletools.flashlight-zfPGc_nUh-lfXyne8IYBXw==/split_config.xxhdpi.apk

Next we first create a variable and assign it the value com.simplemobiletools.flashlight, then set Package/App Name in App Info to the variable. %app_apk_public_source_dirs() now returns:

/data/app/~~B7hw9LsIMvoKBAxtESVvqw==/com.simplemobiletools.flashlight-zfPGc_nUh-lfXyne8IYBXw==/split_config.en.apk,/data/app/~~B7hw9LsIMvoKBAxtESVvqw==/com.simplemobiletools.flashlight-zfPGc_nUh-lfXyne8IYBXw==/split_config.xxhdpi.apk,%app_apk_public_source_dirs4,%app_apk_public_source_dirs5,%app_apk_public_source_dirs6,%app_apk_public_source_dirs7,%app_apk_public_source_dirs8,%app_apk_public_source_dirs9,%app_apk_public_source_dirs10,/data/app/~~B7hw9LsIMvoKBAxtESVvqw==/com.simplemobiletools.flashlight-zfPGc_nUh-lfXyne8IYBXw==/split_config.en.apk,/data/app/~~B7hw9LsIMvoKBAxtESVvqw==/com.simplemobiletools.flashlight-zfPGc_nUh-lfXyne8IYBXw==/split_config.xxhdpi.apk

Hi there, thanks for the report! Can you please try this version? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YGuMAWRfyYlUKMdgb4xyVEUfddWz_zzI/view

Thanks in advance!

HI

Here's a copy of my answer at https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/1cu98ib/comment/l5azxix/:

Hey, thanks for getting on it so quickly! I installed the version you linked to yesterday and finished testing it just now. Tested it with both the apps I reported on in my bug report and it seems fixed indeed, so that's awesome!

Awesome :) Glad it's fixed now!

HI

Hello João Dias, may I ask how reported issues are handled? I have a few more that I keep running into and I'm motivated to report them so Tasker can improve, but if nothing is done with them I would just be wasting my time. Since I haven't received any reaction on this bug report and I've seen other reports on here that are much, much older and never got any interaction, I'd like to know before I proceed filing more. Thank you.

O, and here's a workaround for people also running into this issue: use the Run Shell action with the command pm path %package|sed 's/^package://g' where %package is the variable that holds the package name. Store the output in a variable, it has the path to every split on a separate line.

HI

Here's another example for an app with 20 splits, the %app_apk_public_source_dirs[number] in the output go up to 109!

  1. Install nl.tpp.mobile.android
  2. Set a variable to nl.tpp.mobile.android
  3. Set the variable as the package name in App Info
  4. The output of %app_apk_public_source_dirs() is:
