Launch application inconsistency

[chaoscreater]

Hi there,

I've noticed that the Launch application action is rather inconsistent, depending on the app that you launch. For example:

- if my phone's screen is on and unlocked and I test launch application with Spotify, it'll launch in the foreground and works fine.
- if I set my macro to wait 1 second and then launch application with Spotify and I turn off my phone screen as soon as the macro is run, then Spotify will launch in the background. If I unlock my phone, I can see Spotify already as my foreground app and ready to go.

However:

- if my phone's screen is on and unlocked and I test launch application with DesktopSMS, it'll launch in the foreground and works fine.
- if I set my macro to wait 1 second and then launch application with DesktopSMS and I turn off my phone screen as soon as the macro is run, then when I unlock my phone, I don't see the app. It's not launched.

Any ideas why this is the case?

I guess it might be a timing issue as certain apps will take much longer than others to launch and maybe the phone has entered sleep sate before launching?

Doubt it will enter sleep state so quickly, especially since I've configured Doze parameters on my phone to not doze straight away.

The DesktopSMS app launches just as fast as any other app.

During my testing, I've turned off the screen immediately after testing the macro and so every is executed within seconds.
