Stop an app without using root

Current kill app only works when use root is checked. If possible, I'd like the ability to stop another app on an unrooted phone (this is the only remaining thing I still need root for).

Hi. You can do it with Shizuku now too :)

Does ADB Wifi need to be enabled and running for tasker to use Shizuku kill a running app (and if not, does it still require root)?

I don't really want to have ADB Wifi running all the time - that seems like a security risk. And as another poster mentioned, I've had apps refuse to run when they detect that developer mode is enabled.

Also I'm looking to remove root altogether. The main reason I was using it was to enable Titanium backup which appears to no longer be supported and seems to often be unreliable when restoring both apks and data. Stopping apps is the only other thing I use root for.
