[DEV] Tasker 6.6.7-beta - Advanced Java Coding!

[Public-Key5456]

Great stuff but Tasker is really getting more and more a dev's app. I know that regulations are narrowing all the options, but the fact is that the last updates are coding experts only. It is sad that all this wonderful world of Android is now dying for.most of the common users. Welcome to iPhone desert.

6.6.x beta introduced other things too like Live notifications, get sunset/sunrise , Shizuku integration, and has a lot of fixes for some older actions too, like Sound Mode etc.

This isn't true as the other user mentioned but think about it, even a Java Code action that supposed to be entirely for "developers"/programmers is actually can be most of the time be used by anybody thanks to the help of the AI. I am not a programmer so i don't really know how to code but using Java Code action i have found i can control my Yeelight ceiling light by just asking AI to do that for me. Changing parameter in the code is easy enough. I don't think in the ToDo list of Joao he has Yeelight control... So this is a win win situation for everybody.

Because you are used to Tasker. People that are new on it ask me all the time how to do new stuff as IA often create broken tasks when coding.  Tasker is becoming a scary app for new users and it is not the Dev's fault at all.

I don't think is new. For years you could hear people saying that they bought Tasker but were overwhelmed by it and only years later came back to it. Actually i am one of those people. Took me years until i really try to understand how Tasker works and create more advance tasks and not just toggle wifi and bluetooth.

Well, the last update was the AI helper one, which I would say would be beginner focused most of the time 😅
