    Does somone know about the Samsung update international model breaking accessibility services? Accessibility services apps, like AutoInput, switch to off after rebooting S7.

    Since the most recent release of Tasker (V4.8u5), there is plugin timeout support in Tasker. You can use this feature to check for accessibility like so:

    1. clear variable %errmsg
    2. call UIquery without any specific search arguments
    3. wait 2 seconds
    4. if %errmsg = timeout, accessibility is not enabled

    This way, we can now check at the beginning of any script whether accessibility is enabled. and take appropriate action if it is not.

    Sorry about that. I've just released a new beta that checks if the service is running prior to running the UI query. Hope this helps

    Sorry about what? I don't get it.

    Where's that new beta? It's not on Google play.

    Yes, I released it on Google Play. It's version 2.0.2b

    Uh, no. I guess that explains it.

    Looking at the changelog of the beta, I see a lot of changes related to android N, but no mention of the new accessibility check mechanism.

    Can you give us a short description of what exactly it does and how to use it?

    It's simply a check in the existing actions. For example, if the service is not running then the UI Query will not run and return an error right away :)

    So the last update from Ssamsung, July, did change something about accessibility services which fixed it from switching apps that repuire accessibility services to be checked on to not switch to off after every reboot.
