    Kid App wifi near state not triggered

    Tai · 0 · Posted

    Hi,

    My kid app, created using App Factory 6.3.12, is using a Near WiFi (by MAC Address) trigger in its profile.

    It is only working on a phone that has Tasker installed and enabled (with all profiles disabled).

    If Tasker is not installed on the phone, or installed but disabled, the profile's Near WiFi context will not fire. Tested on Samsung evices (Z-Fold3 and S20) with Anroid 14, all permissions granted.

    Any advise about this? 

    Thanks

    Direct purchase version - how to avoid beta versions?

    JS · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I have the direct purchase version, and the Aurora Store app has 6.3.13 while I have 6.3.12 installed, so Aurora Store lists Tasker in the updates list (which of course it can't do). In the case of Tasker I use Aurora Store to let me know when to direct download a new version of Tasker. I just went to the direct download page, trying to download what I hope is 6.3.13, but instead I got 6.4.0-beta. How can I avoid betas on the direct download link?

    Tasker Settings popup everytime it tries to activate Wi-Fi on Android 14 (ASUS)

    John Cobra · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Heya! I've had Tasker Settings to fix the Wi-Fi Toggle issues for the longest time. Just a few days ago I upgraded to Android 14 on my ASUS Zenfone 9 and Wi-Fi toggling is semi-broken now. It still triggers normally, but everytime it tries to turn Wi-Fi on, I get a confirmation prompt I have to hit "Allow" on. DIsabling Wi-Fi works without this prompt, funnily enough.

    I have uninstalled and ADB installed both versions of Tasker Settings, but the issue persists.

    qr generator is adding a " at the end of the provided text

    Jürgen Morak · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    When I use the AutoBarcode plugin to generate a QR code from the text 'Hello World' it returns a QR code with the decoded text 'Hello World"'. So it accidentally adds a " at the end.

    Is this a Bug or a config Problem on my side?

    Bluetooth Disconnect action fails. Bluetooth Connect works fine

    Hunter Pritchett · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I'm on Android 14 and Tasker 6.3.13.

    >Bluetooth Connection *Action* **Disconnect** *Device* [Device's MAC]

    >Bluetooth Connection *Action* **Disconnect** *Device* [Device's Name]

    This fails. The exact same code but with **Connect** instead of **Disconnect** works fine. And yes, I'm sure the device is connected when I try to run the code.

    Someone had a similar problem [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/1eadas5/my_task_that_turns_off_bluetooth_no_longer_works/) and I can confirm that it does work if you turn off calls before trying the disconnect action. However, as they remarked, that's not really viable for headphones.

    Hello, closing an issue is frustrating and very unhelpful when the problem was not solved because I can no longer reply to it.

    Android 10: after starting tasker, unable to get past notification screen

    Raphael Valo · 1 · Last reply by Raphael Valo

    Dear Dev Team,

    I bought Tasker, but I am unable to start it. When tasker is being started, then a full screen message opens with "Data Access and Collection in Tasker" and there is no button / option to continue to the app itself. Disabled notifications for Tasker, but no change. Using Android 10 tablet. How to proceed to the app itself?

    PS: is the app even compatible with tag type ISO 14443-3A / NTAG21? The current built-in nfc reader of that particular tablet only read the UID. The idea of having bougth tasker in the first place, is to

    Scene Textedit Autocorrect

    Kit Tihonovich · 0 · Posted

    The TextEdit Dialog contains no AutoCorrect functionality.  If, for example, you use an Input Dialog you can use the reference "245841" for input type to get all AutoCorrect functionality (and multi-line) which is what I need.  It seems this has been an issue for years and I think it should be considered a bug more than a feature request.  A TextEdit dialog should function as text does literally anywhere else in android.

    Input dialogs hide scenes displayed as activity and dialog

    JasonYate · 0 · Posted

    The only solution is to launch a scene and instantly hide it just before showing the input dialog, but that's double the work. I would appreciate it, João, if this problem could be taken into account so that it can be solved.

    Tasker must be restarted to get new Material You Colors

    Elias Cabrera · 0 · Posted

    If the system Material You colors are changed (ie. wallpaper is changed), the Tasker theme doesn't reflect the change and keeps the previous theme. This applies also to the "Get Material You Colors" action, it'll get the previously used colors and not the new ones.

    Force closing and reopening Tasker allows it use the new colors, until the wallpaper is changed again.
