    autobarcode issues

    Joost · 2 · Last reply by Joost

    Good evening, I have tasker up and running and working properly to send location coördinaties to one of my apps (through a webhook). I am trying to do the same thing for QR code scans (or barcodes) and I have installed autobarcode, added a widget on my screen. I have created a profile for autobarcode with a task. The connection with my app works fine and and when I activate the task I see a new entry in my app. But I can't get the widget to open a scanner and it seems like the app (autobarcode) crashes.

    Wallpaper selector not showing current wallpaper set by tasker (android 13)

    Leon Nündel · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    When you use the Set Wallpaper action in tasker on android 13 beta, the new quick wallpaper selector that shows the last used wallpapers doesn't get updated and shows the last manually set wallpaper. I use tasker to daily download a random image from my drive and set it as wallpaper. But the quick selector never updates when tasker changes the wallpaper.

    "Error - accessibility service not running"

    Fenix · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I use Tasker with the AutoInput and AutoApps plugins across several devices to run tasks. Lately, I've been having actions randomly fail with the error "Accessibility service not running" despite it running quite happily for months prior. Using an AutoInput Action to click certain coordinates, doesn't not present an error, but the click does not happen. The permissions are set as they always have been and I have done nothing to change them. It is as if the service just forgets it has been set up.

    This would be great for me (thanks!), but unfortunately it doesn't work on my phone: Android 7, Moto E4 Plus. I have Tasker set as Assistant and the android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS is enabled (I checked this using the Tasker app). When I run Airplane Mode toggle I get "Error 1, no way to toggle airplane mode, check notifications"

    The set wallpaper task used to work fine until an android update some time back.

    For a few weeks now this hasn't been working. Instead of setting the wallpaper to the selected image, it sets it to an image I don't recognize (the one in the attachment).

    Airplane mode permissions issue

    sadot · 1 · Last reply by sadot

    I was using airplane mode schedule for a long time, but since last week I am getting error. 

    20.40.51/E Error 1

    20.40.51/E Missing permissions. Digital Assistant. Check notifications.

    Why this permission is needed to turn on airplane mode? Even if I try to grant permissions switching to Tasker Voice Assistant nothing is changing. 

    Would you like to help?

    App Factory Download doesn't exist

    Hallo, when I try to export a Task as app and App Factory is not installed, I get a message to download it. But the link is dead:

    http://appfactory.dinglisch.net/AppFactory.apk

    There is no subdomain appfactory.dinglisch.net obviously anymore. So I ended with download from some apk-download-sites, where I found it. But it doesn't work, which is another bug... frank

    Permissions Issue after uninstall/reinstall

    Oneplus 7 Pro. Rooted. Oxygen OS 10

    I accidentally uninstalled tasker, but I was lucky enough to have a recent backup. Upon reinstalling, a few of my tasks give me permissions errors.

    1) One of my tasks I use as an alarm. The "Music Play" action gives the following error:

    code 3: java.io.FileNotFoundException /storage/emulated/0/Alarms/spring.ogg: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied).

    I even went to grant document tree access and selected the root folder and it still doesn't work. That file does exist in that location too. I also tried setting up another task that requires me to browse files on my

    When using the Assistance Request event profile,  even when it's targetted to a specific application and the application is not loaded,  the profile still executes.

    Reproduce by:

    2. Open any other app (eg. File Manager),  perform an assistance request,  and the Flash text will be shown.
