Tasker is one of the more powerful apps in the ay Store, offering you limitless customization for how you use your device.
Not anymore. has apparently removed the app on the grounds that it uses a permission that disables the new Doze feature.
However, the developer tells Android lice that the feature isn’t even in the ay Store version: it’s in a beta build that is only available on the Tasker website. His theory is that someone reported the issue to , which moved too quickly to take down Tasker, or that ay Services identified the feature when doing the usual scan of apps on someone’s device.
If you want Tasker right now, you can download a trial version directly from the Tasker site. You’ll just need to hang tight until Tasker iron this out for the full, paid build. There’s a Groups forum thread about the issue, so you can follow along there if you want to see how this plays out.

It will just take the developer to connect with the right authority from the ay Store to get everything squared away. ile it’s better for the ecosystem for to take a stronger h with ay Store security, it looks like there could be cause for some refinement in the process.
