    'Variable Convert' write access to 'Name' when 'Store Result In' is used

    Pascal · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    The Variable Convert action will check if it can write to the variable used in Name even if Store Result In is used. If Store Result In is used, there should never be written to the original variable and therefore there is no need to check if it has write access to this variable.

    Currently this will give the "Can't write values to variable structure" error if it can't write to the original variable, even if it will actually never attempt to.

    Minimal working example:

    Maybe this isn't limited to the Variable Convert action, but it is where I encountered

    Continuous prompt when turning wifi on/off in HyperOS(Xiaomi)

    David · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hello, since i updated to Xiaomi HyperOS 1.0.1.0 (from Miui) a few days ago I am having issues with a prompt that appears every time tasker tries to toggle wifi. It keeps prompting me to allow/restrict the app to turn wifi on/off. I tried to install tasker settings 1.7.1 for Xiaomi (as described in instructions)  several times (including using adb method) but it does not work. I cannot see what I am doing wrong. Before the update I did exactly the same and it worked (that was on Miui). Is there any tips, workarounds or updates? Thank you!

    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 :).

    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.

    All of these other apps appear to

    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".

    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.

    %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?
