I am planning to create a guide that summarizes the installation with Termux in a simple way.
I'm a bit pressed for time right now, so I'll work on it when I have time.

Just installed Macrodroid via Play Store & the helper via ADB on GrapheneOS / Android 14 on my Pixel 5.
I can enable / disable Airplane Mode via a macro but cannot enable / disable WiFi.
System Log shows:
[Helper] Failed to set wifi state

It can be installed via the adb tool, so most users here will be fine and have the ability to install/update it etc.

Of course most other users will be very confused, annoyed and angry so it will just drive away new users who don't understand or think it looks super dodgy what they are being asked to do. Of course Google has made this change to "improve security", so if an app is trying to do this then it must be up to no good!

I hope there will be major backlash and they will at least put some option deep in the settings to allow installation of older APKs.

I have a question about md helper, for example I use termux and shizuku on my cell phone to send adb hack commands from macrodroid and it works, but I have the helper installed, I wanted to know if it is Is it possible for me to continue using these apps for adb without needing to install the helper, or is it always "mandatory" to have it installed to facilitate the adb hack?
