People are reading the docs, it seems. There are still some hopes for the humanity 🙂

(This statistics page is taken from GitHub. A lot of you aren’t using any protections against tracking via the Referer HTTP header.)

It only displays data for the last two weeks though.

API Add the ability to trigger profiles via third-party apps

In order to ensure security, an authorization key is introduced which can be
accessed from Settings > Authorization Manager. This key can be used to trigger
profiles via any third-party apps such as Automation or Tasker.

Specification:
io.github.muntashirakon.AppManager.crypto.auth.AuthFeatureDemultiplexer is
the activity responsible for handling profiles (or any other features that
might be introduced in the future). Sending an Intent to the activity performs
the designated operation by redirecting the Intent to the desired activity or
service accordingly. It has two primary (and required) extras namely auth and
feature. auth contains the authorization key generated earlier, and
feature currently accepts the value profile for running profiles. In the
future, more features will be added.

To configure a profile, the following extras have to be set as well:
- prof: The name of the profile as displayed in the Profiles page. This is a
required field for the feature.
- state: State of the profile -- on or off -- as specified in the
documentation. If this extra is not set, App Manager will display a prompt
where a state must be selected. Therefore, for complete automation, this
option should be set.

This authorization technique, while not new, is not entirely secure. Ideally,
the third-party apps should only be able to use the functions of another app if
they declare a certain permission required by the latter app. For automation
apps, this is not possible since they do not support per-app permission.

AppDetails Allow creating shortcuts for non-exported activities

Rooted users can already run both exported and non-exported (also known as
private) activities. Now it is also possible to create shortcuts for the latter
activities in the components tabs (for the rooted users).

Interceptor Allow creating shortcuts for intents

Signed-off-by: Muntashir Al-Islam <muntashirakon@riseup.net>

This effectively allows you to set arbitrary extras for the shortcut that you weren’t able to do in the activities tab. This could be very helpful for opening activities that you weren’t able to because it required some extras that you couldn’t set. It also supports the typical Intent-matching functions, that is, if you do not set package name and class name, it will display a set of options from where you can select any one of them everytime you trigger the shortcut.

See you in the next week!
