Kill app (strava) - No root - not working correctly

Hey, I noticed some "kill app not working" threads already existed but I couldn't find any information about my situation and how best to debug it.
I have a tasker set up to start strava recording when I ride my bike and stop it after I am done (based off this post https://www.reddit.com/r/bikecommut...ial_fully_automatic_strava_commute_recording/).
The problem with the instructions is the way to start it fails if the app is already running so I read about using AutoInput to kill an app without root. I went through the following youtube video
https://www.reddit.com/r/bikecommut...ial_fully_automatic_strava_commute_recording/
but instead of using the AutoShare stuff, which was confusing to me and I couldn't get the trial working to even test it, I went with a suggestion the top comment provided (the instructions are below

• enter "android.settings.APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS" in the "Action" field
• enter "package:com.package.of.some.application" into the "Data" field where "com.package.of.some.application" should be replaced with the name of the package of the application for which you want to open the app info page
• in the "Target" field select "Activity"

Now that I have explained the whole setup, the issue I am currently running into with AutoInput is that when I run the task via the play button on tasker, everything works perfectly. However, when I ride my bike and the task is triggered to kill the app it does do it. I open my phone and it always ends up on the app details page. It seems AutoInput does not trigger in practice like it does when I hit the play button. Does the screen need to be on in order for AutoInput to work?

 

that is definitely it. I wish I would have known that before buying it. I couldn't figure out how to do the trial. It is really confusing
