Hi
After some time I wanted to use Automate also in my Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 again.
Previously it worked as expected.

Now the app starts, but immediately closes without any option for me to do anything.

I deinstalled and reinstalled the app - no luck.

How to proceed?

TIA

Due to an Android 15 bug all the obsolete "Automate [...] permission extension" apps MUST be uninstalled, do so in system Settings, App, See all apps, app, Uninstall. See also: https://llamalab.com/automate/doc/extensions.html#obsolete

Hi Henrik
Thanks for the quick answer.
Indeed there was the network-permissions extension installed.
When uninstalling the extension also the main app was uninstalled. But as there were no flows installed ...
After reinstaling the app the app now starts again.

(Side note:
On my Pixel 7a I observed that automate was also deinstalled without me doing this. Fortunately I had made a backup for my flows. ;-) )
