Hey there , I have used this flow a long time ago which worked , now days on the new device it doesn't. The short version of it , open Google play with the application package like so "market://details?id=" ++ "com.spotify.music" Install it and run it . My problem is with the installation. This is what I did which didn't work I created an interact block , pressed on record interaction, inspected the UI on the "install" button in Google play , then changed the action to click / long click / context click saved and ran it , It opens the play store in the right app , however no clicking/pressing on the installation button in Google play , what am I doing wrong ?

Pressing on other stuff let say the author of the app with click action do work.

Running a Poco C75 , android 14

Google may prevent clicks on the install button coming from an accessibility service as a security measure.

Impossible to tell if that's correct or not. Inspect the layout XML instead.

Use the "Inspect user interface" button.
