Help. Use %CNUM in App Factory

[MoviTips]

First of all, I have a big problem: I don't speak English very well. I speak spanish, but let's see if I can explain myself.

The thing is very simple. I wanted to create an app from a task (wich shows an escene) using App Factory.

The idea was very simple. If you miss a call, or can't answer it, you go to the app and push a button. This button automatically send a sms to the last number registered (%CNUM) with a text like "I'm busy, text you later".

I made it. I made a task that shows the scene. Inside the escene I made one button with the Action: send a sms. Number: %CNUM Text: (Spanish... )

So... When I run the task, inside Tasker, it actually works perfectly. But when I export and make the app, the app doesn't work.

Otherwise, if I change the variable %CNUM and put a static cellphone number, the app works, but obviously always with the same number, no matter who call later.

My question is this: Does %CNUM work in apps separates of tasker?
What can I do to make this simple idea work?

Could you come back on this one if it's still not working after the next update Tasker and App Factory updates ?
(should be there in a week or two)

Thanks,

Ok. I'll wait and then I'll be back.

(So.. I assume that this days what I wanted to do isn't possible?)

Sorry my english.

Hey Pent, 

I have the same problem. Created a profile which uses MailTask to send auto emails when I have missed calls, using %CNUM and %CNAME. However, when app is exported with Factory, variables are empty. I checked app permissions, disabled Tasker, installed on different phones, called multiple times, restarted phone. Even added simple "Scene" to show %CNUM and %CNAME - it shows empty in the APK while it shows currect at the same time when flashed through tasker.

I am having the same problem - It seems none of the CNUM, CNAME, etc.. are valid if running from an APP vs running in Tasker.

I suspect it's some kind of missing permission.

Try to add as extra permissions:
READ_CALL_LOG
READ_PHONE_STATE

I bet it's the second one.
