    How to convert curl --request PUT (file) into a Tasker HTTP Request PUT (file) that works!

    StaffanT · 2 · Last reply by StaffanT

    I'm trying to convert a curl shell command into an HTTP action put can't get it to work. I need a solution to this because the target system is Android 8 which doesn't include the curl shell command.

    Shell command:

    curl --request PUT --upload-file "%tempfile" -k https://mysite.com/uploads/

    This works.

    Tasker action:

    HTTP Request PUT

    URL

    https://mysite.com/uploads/

    Headers

    Content-Type:text/plain

    Content-Length:%len

    File to Send

    %tempfile

    This gives a response code 200 but no file is stored in "mysite.com/uploads/".

    Please anyone :-|

    New Target API Level req's by Google (https://tinyl.io/B5A1)

    StaffanT · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    From the 31st of August 2024 Google requires that all new apps have API 34 (Android 14) as target level in order to be submitted to Google Play. Today the Tasker App Factory doesn't support higher levels than 29. Will we see App Factory support for level 34 by then?

    App Factory 6.2.22 MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE disappeared

    Mauro · 7 · Last reply by Tai

    Hello after upgrading from 6.1.32 to 6.2.22 the MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission has disappeared from the permission list of the app created with AppFactory. The kid App doesn't works anymore in any Android 11-12 testing phone (Oppo Xiaomi Samsung). So I've downgraded from 6.2.22 to 6.1.32 and I've created the same App again with App Factory 6.1.32. The MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission is back and the App works again in all the phones. Same tasks, same Android target version, same App name/release, same certificate, same testing phones, same antiviruses, same Android versions. Nothing changed. All exactly the same except for Tasker and App Factory

    Disconnect from Bluetooth device - Fails on one specific device

    Gidon Weil · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hello, I am trying to use Tasker in order to disconnect from a certain Bluetooth device. I tried both using the built-in task (Action > Bluetooth Connection > Disconnect) and the BlueTask plugin. Both worked perfectly for a few of my Bluetooth earphones which I tested, but failed for my Motorbike Bluetooth. I get the following error (https://ibb.co/SsdR6cG): With Tasker Built-In Action: 17.32.35/LicenseCheckerTasker Checking cached only 17.32.35/LicenseCheckerTasker cache validity left -703526 17.32.35/LicenseCheckerTasker Cached status: Licensed 17.32.35/LicenseCheckerTasker Cached only: Licensed 17.32.35/E FIRE PLUGIN: Connection / com.twofortyfouram.locale.intent.action.FIRE_SETTING: 8 bundle keys 17.32.35/E Connection: plugin comp: com.balda.bluetask/com.balda.bluetask.receivers.FireReceiver 17.32.35/Ew add wait type Plugin1 time 60

    32Bit PC:

    Radovan Brix · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hello! Is it possible to use the application: Tasker Permissions also on a 32Bit computer? Well thank you! P.S: I can't do much without it and I'm limited to a small fraction of what Tasker offers.

    I've been running tasker for about 4 years on various versions of Lineage using Mindthegapps without any issue. Since Monday I've started getting the Trial expired error but the app is showing as purchased in the Play Store?

    kill the app on Android 14

    Taras Ivashchuk · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    I used to kill the app with the help of built in command in Tasker in Android 13. What I have noticed is that after Android update to 14 this feature doesn't work as it is expected. Say I want to kill the Firefox running, and after I trigger the kill command I still observe Firefox running as nothing had happened to it. I also used the adb command am force-stop but the output was the same.

    de-googled phone: Current beta (6.2.32-rc) complains about end of trial phase

    flipreverse · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi all! I purchased Tasker 8 years ago via Google Playstore. I double checked it. I've now switched to CalyxOS which uses microG and the Aurora Store. The current stable release works fine with microG. No complains at all. If I, however, join the beta program, and install the current beta version (6.2.32-rc), Tasker complains about the end of the trial period. I'm not able to make it work. Deinstalling it, and re-install the current version (6.1.X) brings Tasker to life again. Have you changed the Playstore detection recently? Or anything else in that version related to the Playstore? Regards,

    Using Tasker to control a Harmony hub system

    Mario Piquero · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I bough this app specifically to control a Harmony hub. The "Tasker plugin for Harmony" says app is not available for your device in the Play Store. All threads regarding this plugin are several years old. Is there a way to use Tasker as it exists today so send remote commands to Harmony hubs?

    After upgrade (automatically) to 4.2.0 version of Activity Task it doesn't work.

    Jose Cipres · 2 · Last reply by Jose Cipres

    My task is to detect when I am in a vehicle and then bluetooth is automatically activated. When I get out of the vehicle, bluetooth is deactivated. The task is a copy of the video that accompanies the download of ActivityTask on Google play and has always worked correctly until ActivityTask was updated to version 4.2.0, which does not detect anything. I have validated that it still has all permissions, and there is no battery saving. I don't know what's going on.

    Do I have to plug my phone into my computer each time I reboot it to activate the ADB portal?

    Kebin · 1 · Last reply by Kebin

    I can get my Pilxel 5 to "Enable ADB Wifi in Tasker with port 5555" when I plug it into my computer running the Tasker Permissions app. I was curious if there is a way to open this port without having to connect my phone to my computer? If I am away from my computer for long periods of time I still want to have the functionality ADB Wifi allows after a reboot.
