Releases: joaomgcd/TaskerSettings
Network Access
On October 2023 Google forbid Tasker from using the Android VpnService class, even though it does not go against the Google Play Store Policy, since it only uses the VpnService to block and unblock apps on the device from accessing the internet.
I tried explaining this to Google, but to no avail.
Version 1.7.0 of Tasker Settings works around that by having Tasker relaying this feature to it. Since Tasker Settings is not on Google Play it can still perform the action normally.
Use
- Tasker 6.2.16-rc or above
- Tasker Settings 1.7.0 or above
Download Tasker Settings at the links below.
After installing this app you must grant it permissions via Android Settings and NOT when the system prompts you. If you grant permissions when it asks you for them it'll simply crash and permissions won't be granted.
To manually grant the permission open Android Settings > Apps > Tasker Settings and allow the permission there.
Important Note: On some Huawei devices you'll need to use the special Huawei/Xiaomi APK below so that when you try to toggle WIFI it won't always ask you for permission to toggle it. More info here: #13
Important Note 2: Android 14+ doesn't allow Tasker Settings to be installed normally. You have to install it via ADB using the following command:
adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block FILENAME.apk
Unfortunately there's nothing I can do to change that.
You can setup ADB on your PC as described here.
Note: If it gives you a permission error, make sure to enable developer options and then disable the Check apps installed via USB option.
Toggle Bluetooth
On May 2023 Tasker had to update its Target API to 33 blocking it from being able to toggle Bluetooth on your device. This is expected behaviour as documented here.
Version 1.6.0 of Tasker Settings works around that by having Tasker relaying that feature to it. Since Tasker Settings still targets a lower Target API it can still perform the action normally.
Use
- Tasker 6.2.2-beta or above
- Tasker Settings 1.6.0 or above

After installing this app you must grant it permissions via Android Settings and NOT when the system prompts you. If you grant permissions when it asks you for them it'll simply crash and permissions won't be granted.
To manually grant the permission open Android Settings > Apps > Tasker Settings and allow the permission there.
If you get an error about the BLUETOOTH_CONNECT permission, try disabling and re-enabling the Bluetooth and Nearby Devices permission both for Tasker and Tasker Settings and try again

Open File action for APK files
On November 2022 Google blocked Tasker from having the android.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES permission on Google Play which means that Tasker wasn't able to request installation of APK files anymore using the Open File action like before.
With version 1.5.0 of Tasker Settings you can get that working again because Tasker will now relay this function to it.
Use
- Tasker 6.1.7-beta or above
- Tasker Settings 1.5.0 or above

Run Shell
Since Tasker started targeting API 30 some shell commands (like "ip neigh") stopped working.
With this version of Tasker Settings you can get that working again by selecting the Use Tasker Settings option in the Run Shell action in Tasker.
Use
- Tasker 5.15.6 or above
- Tasker Settings 1.4.0 or above
After installing this app you must grant it location permissions via Android Settings and NOT when the system prompts you. If you grant permissions when it asks you for them it'll simply crash and permissions won't be granted.
To manually grante the location permission open Andoird Settings > Apps > Tasker Settings and allow the permission there.

Connect to Wifi Network
Since AutoTools is no longer able to connect to Wifi Networks automatically I had to add that functionality to Tasker Settings, so this version allows you to use the Connect To Wifi action in Tasker.
After installing this app you must grant it location permissions via Android Settings and NOT when the system prompts you. If you grant permissions when it asks you for them it'll simply crash and permissions won't be granted.
To manually grante the location permission open Andoird Settings > Apps > Tasker Settings and allow the permission there.
Use
- Tasker 5.12.23 or above
- Tasker Settings 1.3.0 or above
to make it work.
Important Note: Android 14+ doesn't allow Tasker Settings to be installed normally. You have to install it via ADB using the following command:

Toggle Wifi
This version allows you to toggle Wifi from Tasker.
Important Note: On some Huawei/Xiaomi devices you'll need to use a special Huawei/Xiaomi APK available here so that when you try to toggle Wifi it won't always ask you for permission to toggle it. More info here: #13
