MacroDroid Helper APK

If your device is running Android 14 or above make sure to read the whole post. In order to toggle Wifi (and a number of other features) on devices running Android 10+ a new helper file is now required. This helper file is built against an older target SDK allowing it to still invoke the Wifi...

Installing helper on Android 14+

While waiting for an official guide, users are starting to come here to get help about installing or updating the helper app on Android 14+. Because Google is so keen to "protect our privacy", applications targeting SDK 22 or lower can no longer be installed or updated on devices - at least not...

ok, sorry and thanks for your help! ^^

Hello, first time posting here.
After reading and following the instructions, I managed to install the MD Helper app on my new Android 14 phone, and confirmed it is now able to change the Wi-Fi status. But when one of the macro's that turns the Wi-Fi on is triggered, I get a message on screen asking if I want to allow MD Helper to actually do this. Okay, not that bad, just one touch and done. But if the screen is off and this happens (because automation) then MacroDroid never gets a chance.

I can't find any information about this message (having searched for the literal text). I feel like this thread deals with something similar, but I can't tell exactly, let alone figure out what kind of actions I would have to take specifically.

Anyone here any ideas?

If you are on Huawei or on Xiaomi HyperOS Android 14 then it's not possible unless you use an adb connection.

I'm not. My phone is a Nothing 2a, and I don't mind using adb (after all, that's how I managed to get MD Helper running). But I don't recognise any useful commands in the thread you reference. I'm not that experienced, so it's quite possible I'm just reading over some very useful information.

If you do that setup then you can use ADB commands to enable and disable wifi (and a lot of other things too). The command would be adb shell svc wifi enable to enable, and adb shell svc wifi disable to disable.

Sorry, that's not what I mean to achieve. Unless you mean I can use adb commands from within Macrodroid? But I don't see any actions that suggest that.

What I'm trying to achieve is that Wi-Fi turns on and off automatically triggered by geofences that I've set up. And this dialog that I showed earlier is preventing this from happening in the background, without any manual action.

That said, being able to control my phone using adb commands is something I can definitely find some cool purposes for. So thanks for the hint!

It seems like you can't use the wifi action to turn on/off wifi without a confirmation popup. Using adb commands, you can do that automatically without any popup.

It's also worth checking if your phone has some setting to disable this dialog.
