ADB Wifi failing to enable/disable app

[Soudane GMTA]

I'm running the latest Tasker beta on an Android 13 device.

I want to use ADB Wifi to enable and disable an app on my device. However, when I configure the enable-user and disable-user commands and then run one or the other one of them in Tasker, I get this error:

Error 1

Missing permissions ADB Wifi Access: Check notifications

However, there are no notifications.

And if I run the same underlying enable-user and disable-user commands via "Run Shell", I get the same error.

Are enable-user and disable-user inoperative in Tasker in Android 13, perhaps?

Or is there some permission that I can set which will allow these commands in Tasker?

Thank you very much in advance.

You have to run this ADB command on USB cable on each boot of the device: adb tcpip 5555

In my experience a device can lose this permission also when battery is low. If someone has a hack to keep this permission more permanent that would be really cool

I figured out another way to get around this issue.

The only reason I wanted to do this via "ADB Wifi" is because I was searching for a way to enable and disable apps via Tasker, and it's the only thing I came up with initially.

The "ADB Wifi" code enables and disables apps as follows:

pm enable-user --user 0 the.package.name

pm disable-user --user 0 the.package.name

It's these "enable-user" and "disable-user" commands which raise the permission errors.

But I then did more investigation, and I realized that I can simply run these commands as root to enable and disable an app:

pm enable the.package.name

pm disable the.package.name

This works without permission issues, and no cable connection to adb tcpip 5555 is necessary to set up any permissions.

So, I just created an EnableApp task and a DisableApp task which run those commands as root.

Sure if you are rooted you dont need adb over wifi. Or did i miss a point?
