MacroDroid asks for "Application Launched/Closed" accessibility permission constantly

Question

I'm on non-rooted Android 8.1 Oreo with MacroDroid Pro v3.24.1. After I got a replacement phone and reinstalled MacroDroid, it constantly asks for accessibility permission: Application Launched/Closed.


There are three accessibility permissions available:



  • MacroDroid

  • MacroDroid Fingerprint Gesture Detector

  • MacroDroid Volume Button Monitor


I enabled the first and last and kept the fingerprint off as this disables drawer swiping. I don't get where to allow that accessibility permission it is asking for.


Any suggestions?

Answer

I am an avid user of MacroDroid and noticed this issue with two devices and raised this issue on app forums (accessible from within the device and my post dated 24 December 17- unable to link)


This is what the developer said



It's not a MacroDroid issue but a system issue that can happen with any app.


If you Google the issue you will find stuff like this:
Accessibility services gets disabled automatically



I find this to be true, since I had this problem on stock ROM but not on custom ROM


Quite possibly same case with you
