Background: before I ask my question, I want to give some background and explain that there are "Developer" options especially for the PlayStore, and the way to enable these PlayStore Developer options is ...

PlayStore Settings=>Settings=>About, and then click around 7 times on Play Store Version

Then, those PlayStore "Developer" options will be enabled, and the way to get to them is ...

PlayStore Settings=>Settings=>General=>Developer options

And now, my question:

I know that I can send the following intent in Tasker to get to the PlayStore main screen:

com.google.android.finsky

However, if I then want to use Tasker to traverse the PlayStore settings and either set or clear them, the only way I figured out how to do this is via AutoInput, which I know how to do.

But I'm wondering if anyone has figured out whether there are one or more intents that I can send which will get me directly to those PlayStore Developer options (after I've enabled them), without using AutoInput ... or at least to minimize the use of AutoInput.

I've searched for information on other intents based upon com.google.android.finsky, but I couldn't find many details.

But perhaps does anyone know where I can find detailed documentation about all intents related to com.google.android.finsky, so that maybe I could discover how to get to those PlayStore Developer options with fewer AutoInput calls?

Thank you in advance.

Correction to the above message:  when describing the intent that I'm sending to get to the main PlayStore screen, I incorrectly wrote com.google.android.finsky, but that should actually be com.google.android.finsky.activities.MainActivity.

The other references to com.google.android.finsky in that message are correct and should stay the same.
