Android 13 on Xperia 5iv

My phone recently updated to Android 13....wasn't sure whether to allow it or not.

Apart from the well known changes introduced in 13, I have found the following issues relating to MD.

1. The UI integration actions, apart from gesture do not work on the lock screen. I have a macro that turns on the screen and inputs the pin to unlock the phone. The macro worked fine on Android 12. On 13 the UI clicks at x.y are not doing anything.
I currently have no work around and have stopped using the macro.

2. Using the WiFi on action results in a pop up - Macrodroid helper is trying to turn on WiFi...accept or cancel. This didn't happen on Android 12. I'm not sure if this a Sony added "feature".
My work around is not to use WiFi on action but use ADB shell WiFi on. This works without triggering the pop up.

Has anybody else observed either of the above or know of any other restrictions?

I tested this on Xperia 10 IV and UI integration works fine on the lock screen and no popups appear when switching Wi-Fi.
My Xperia 10 IV is a Japanese carrier version, so the ROM may be different from the global version.

Thank for that input.
I suspect the difference in ROM may be significant.
Usually I would do a factory reset, but as I can live with the limitations, I have decided to hold off doing that, at least for now.
