Testers wanted for new Alpha release, version 1.35.5

After months of trying get Automate approved for the REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES permission i had to give up and acknowledge that Google will only approve “file manager” apps like their own Files. This will cause the standard Install package action in the App start block to no longer work on Android 8+, however a workaround is now included in the Legacy extension.

Worse, the above procedure has broken Google Play so i can no longer publish updates to registered Alpha testers. Please download, then open to install. Hopefully this will be resolved when the current production release is superseded.

Please test, report any issues, and give feedback.

What’s new since Alpha release 1.35.4:

• Added Install package workaround action in App start block
• Updated Legacy extension to include install package workaround for Android 8+
• Fixed cloud messaging blocks to work when targeting Android 12
• Fixed Mobile data set state block on Android 13+
• Added “forget” button to “ignore app hibernation” privilege dialog

What’s new:

• Targeting Android 12
• Install package action in App start block not working on Android 8+ due to Google Play store policy change
• Updated to newer UI library
• “schedule exact alarms” privilege (Android 12+)
• “ignore app hibernation” privilege (Android 11+)
• First day of week setting, used by calendar style date picker
• Fixed Location get block when using Google Play Services
