Tasker blocked by Instacart Shopper App!

I've been working on a utility for the Instacart Shopper App (the one that the individuals who do the shopping for the customers use).  To be clear, this is not a "bot" designed to grab batches.  It is meant to download the user's info such as earnings.

This week Instacart made a change to the app that is deliberately preventing Tasker from functioning!  It's seems to impact the Autoinput Action to "click" on items in the menu (all Actions and Field Types aren't working).  Tasker can still click on other screen areas, but nothing associated with the menu (see attachments).

Instacart has been under pressuse to prevent "bots" from interacting with the Shopper App (https://fortune.com/2020/08/01/instacart-shoppers-bots-orders/).  This is why I think Tasker isn't functioning as anticipated.  Instacart has gone so far as to deny the use of older Shopper APKs to prevent Tasker from working on the previous versions.

Any suggestions for a workaround or timeline for a fix?  Please LMK if I can help in testing any fixes.

Thanks,

Robert

Hi. If they block it there's nothing I can do, sorry.
