    Can't run Network Access with Tasker Settings error message

    Joe · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hello,

    Whenever I disable Tasker either using the quick tile "toggle" or in the Tasker app itself, I get an error message from Android Permission Manager that says, "Can't run Network Access with Tasker Settings. Otherwise, it works as intended and it does disable Tasker. Is there a work around for this? For now, I'm just dismissing the notification.

    Thanks

    error:failed when trying to export as apk, array task broken now.

    Peter Gomberg · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I updated Tasker and App Factory to the latest beta version (6.3.0-beta) and one of my array tasks no longer worked, it came up empty. So I uninstalled Tasker and App Factory and installed an earlier version where the task worked before (6.2.6-beta). I then imported my latest backup. But I am unable to export to an apk now, I keep getting errors. Please see attached files. At first they were about doodles, so I removed all my doodles from the project scenes. Still getting errors. I've no idea what to do and I am so frustrated when updating tasker

    Accessitibility settings indicate Tasker is "malfunctioning"

    Frits van Bommel · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Sometimes when I exit Tasker, I get a popup about missing Accessibility Access permissions.

    When I go to the Accessibility settings (clicking OK twice on the popup, or Android Settings => Accessibility), it says "Not Working. Tap for info." below Tasker.

    When I tap that, "Use Tasker" is enabled but it says "This service is malfunctioning." at the bottom.

    Disabling and re-enabling "Use Tasker" seems to fix it for a while, but this has happened multiple times now and it would be nice not to have to keep doing that :).

    The bluetooth toggle tasks are not performed.

    Vadim · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Tasker does not perform the task of switching bluetooth on/off. A message comes up that it is due to Google policy. I cannot use the " Auto off unpaired bluetooth" profile now. Is it possible to solve this problem?

    HTML link to download Direct Purchase version

    Max Pal · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    After buying the direct purchase version (for degoogled phone without Play Store), the link to download the app redirects to a Google Drive.

    Would it be possible to host the APK file on a normal HTML page ?

    Because a lot of people without Play Store use some sort on updating app like Obtainium to check and dowload for an update, but this is not compatible with Google Drive wich require a user action with Javascript.

    Thanks !

    Auto Dial Action with USSD codes again

    See here: https://tasker.helprace.com/i1672-after-android-14-update-tasker-no-longer-completes-phone-call-dial-tasks

    Some information on this: The app "Easy Call Forwarding" can set Call forwardings with a simple tap on a shortcut. It does the same as tasker should do: Send an ussd code... So there should be a way for tasker to do it the same way.

    Call Forward not working after android 14 upgrade

    Larry Kennedy · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Call forwarding always worked for me until the Android 14 upgrade.   I have a Samsung S22+. 

    Now, Tasker launches the phone app, but it doesn't actually dial the number. It just sits there and I have to press dial.  To forward, I'm dialing the Verizon *72 sequence. I verified that I have the auto dial box checked.

    Oddly, call Forward End *73 still works.

    Autonotifiation startActivityAndCollapse()

    A Harper · 4 · Last reply by A Harper

    When I use an Autonotification tile with "Hide Notifications" as an option (to collapse the notification shade), I instead get a warning that Autonotification cannot close the shade and I should be using "Close System Dialogs" from the fired task to close the shade.

    Unfortunately, a work profile on my device prevents me from using Tasker's accessibility service, so this is not an option for me.

    However, other apps I use with quick setting tiles all seem to be able to accomplish this goal without special permissions. As does the QuickTask Tasker plugin.

    On My Google Pixel 7 Android 14 the alarm notification "00:00" occours again. Resetting "use reliable alarms" to never has only a temporary effect, after a minute the alarm notification occurs again. Also clear the data and cache does not help?

    Any hints or ideas?

    After Android 14 update, Tasker no longer completes phone call / dial tasks.

    Dan · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I have a task that auto-dials MMI codes to turn on/off forwarding. This used to work fine, after an Android 14 update, the dial keypad pops up with the MMI code already entered, but does not actual dial the number. I have to manually click "call".

    Autolocation can't backup and restore

    Thom Young · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi! 

    I have recently bought a new phone but I can't restore my geofences from my previous phone. I only have the option to backup but not to restore. If I click backup it tells me the file path and says it doesn't exist.

    I can see someone else has the same issue here: https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/167l1yq/autolocation_autoshare_others_cant_backuprestore/?rdt=47611

    %VOLM and other global volume variables reporting incorrect value

    pep Cor · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Weirdly enough, tasker is not reporting the correct volume level on my head unit (Chinese aftermarket). Lots of tasks work normally, but when checking my volume level, it always returns the same value (e.g. 13 VOLM and 7 for VOLS). Anyone encountered this issue and/or has a lead on how to solve/debug this?

    Kid App Draw Over Other Apps Permission

    Threemoneys · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    Kid apps from Tasker App Factory start with the following notification inherited from Tasker:

    "Starting in Android 10 Tasker needs to always have the 'Draw Over Other Apps' permission to be able to do stuff like opening apps from the background."

    Can this notification be removed from Kid Apps? Even if this permission is required for the kid app as well, the notification shouldn't say "Tasker".

    Per app display rotation toggle prevents apps from entering recent in OneUI 5.1

    Serris · 2 · Last reply by Serris

    So I have this Tasker profile which enables display rotation for some apps, and when I exit the app it disables it. However  this seems to interfere with Samsungs recents button, as it glitches out and prevents those apps from entering recents. Disabling that Tasker profile fixes the issue. I don't know if this is a Tasker issue or Samsung issue... Any help or advice would be appreciated.
