Tasker Troubleshooting - Status Bar action

log.txt

 
Remove all permissions from tasker and tasker settings EXCEPT those that can be granted from inside Android (default state). Reboot phone.

Attempt to run task, get error:

Grant Access Hidden Apis, Tasker restarts as part of grant, task completes successfully.





Remove all permissions again (except Android-grantable ones) and reboot again.

Run task without hidden apis: fail
Run task with hidden apis: success

It appears that the required configuration is (all Android grant-able permissions) + accessibility service enabled + Access Hidden APIs permission.

With the Hidden APIs permission missing, we get the null reference error. With it, the action succeeds.
