Installed latest version Sep update - issues

[dhj49er]

Downloaded from the Play Store and the installation completed with no error messages. Everything seemed ok, until I tried to use MD.
Launching MD and there were no macros. The first time this has happened. No problem I thought as I had last night's backup and restored that. Unfortunately MD force closed on completing the restore. Launching MD and it immediately forced closed.
I tried clearing cache but force closing persisted.
I tried force stopping MD but again force closing persisted.
I tried a phone power down reset but force closing persisted.
I cleared MD data and the app opened as if was a fresh install as expected.
MD generated lots of requests for permissions including accessibility services. I applied all and then restored my macros from my backup file. MD stayed open and had all my macros and settings.
I thought I would post this here in case other users experience the force closing issue.

Same thing with mine. I don't know about the no macros.. but definitely won't let me open it. And it keeps toggling on and off it's accessibility settings. Don't know wut to do tbh

Sorry for the very slow delay in replying to this. There is a know issue with 5.27.2 if you don't have phone permission installed. The workaround is to go into your phone's settings -> apps -> MacroDroid -> permissions and grant the permission.

I submitted a fix almost immediately as a new beta build but sadly 3 days later it is still awaiting review, so god knows when it will finally be updated.
