Tasker crashing upon opening (Direct Purchase, can't enter license)
Since my Quest 2 (VR headset) does not have google play services, and i could not get them working with microg anymore, i opted for the direct purchase version. The app crashes on my device upon opening (in Tasker mode) or hangs (in Tasky mode) and i cannot enter the license. See the video that i attached to this post.

Nullpointer Exception with AutoTools Regex
I am using AutoTools Regex with this regex:
(Regex plus is enable as otherwise "(....|)" isn't working correctly.)
In my case "(?<end>.*)" matches the empty string, so %end won't be set.
Using "Test: %end" for "Output Text" lead to this exception.

Trial Version Immediately says Trial Over
I downloaded the trial for the first time today, it was suggested that I try to use Tasker to work with a BLE heart rate monitor to attempt to trigger alerts on rapid heart rate change and to periodically download the logs from the device since it keeps an internal log. I would like to test it out before buying if possible.

Filter Received Share Event List
When setting up multiple received share events with filters and share triggers, all share triggers are displayed even if the filters don't match. I would like to propose to filter the share triggers before displaying the list.
This would allow using many received share events together with filters without having to scroll through a giant list of share triggers.
Right now the filters are a bit unintuitive and restricted if combined with a share trigger.
I guess this could only be done for the tasker share and not the automatically created share options for each trigger, because the necessary info

Profile "new Window" (neues Fenster in German) does not fire on current beta (6.5.5)
This profile has stopped working on my devices (Samsung) with the current beta update 6.5.5. On other Device without automatic update (on 6.4.10-beta) this profile is still working. I tested the last official version (6.4.15) on the Samsung device by leaving beta and ... it is working again. So there might be a problem with this profile in the newest beta version (6.5.5)
edit: I can confirm even on non-Samsung devices there is this issue with 6.5.5-beta and not with official 6.4.16.

Error Remote Execution JSON File
I want to report the remote execution problem. I couldn't import neither Google Cloud Service Account nor Google Cloud Firebase JSON files in Preference > Misc configuration as per step 3 from here. I have imported the JSON files using magnifying glass and copy-paste it directly to the corresponding input field, but it keeps showing error something like "Invalid JSON file, null" even though the JSON files of mine are not error and formatted correctly (you could see this post attachments for the evidence).
I have been downloaded the APK from your google drive (this) based on the solved problem before,

Secondary urls are not anymore standard opened by Tasker
Hi.
I use links linke "tasker://secondary?app=tc" to launch apps from my walltablet dashboards via Tasker.
This was working fine, one click and the action started.
But after updating Play Store Tasker version from 6.4.15 to 6.5.9 the browser asks me how to handle the links.
Tested on Samsung Internet and Chrome.
So now I need two clicks where before one was enough.
How to get the "old" behavoir back?
Thanks in further!

Security Vulnerabilities on Data Exports
When Tasker has an active Lock Code and "Backup User Vars/Prefs" option is unchecked in preferences: 1. we shouldn't be able to export backup data, through the 3-button menu on top right, before inputting correct Lock Code
2. Project variable values shouldn't be included in the backup data. Same as global variables, they should be omitted in the Tasker backup data

Fix for "HTTP Request" Not Working with Google Drive Links
I've been troubleshooting why Tasker's "HTTP Request" action fails to download from a Google Drive link, even though "HTTP Get" works perfectly. After some digging, I found a simple fix that makes "HTTP Request" behave like "HTTP Get" in this case:
When using the "HTTP Request" action to download a file (like an image) from a URL such as:
Make sure you do both of the following:
-
Enable "Automatically Follow Redirects"

Add a Mime type custom header in the Headers field:
You can also add:

Wifi connect doesn't work
Brand new install of Tasker on a Fairphone 6 running /e/OS version 3.0.2 (Android 15).
I created a dead simple task to connect to a specific wifi network, but it fails. I get an error notification prompting me to email the dev ("Can't connect to wifi - Please click here to contact the developer about this issue") . I did a fair bit of research, but everything I saw about wifi not working was a few years old.
I had things working fine on my Fairphone 5 running /e/OS version 2.9 (Android 13) so I'm guessing it's something about the
