You can define but you can do all if you wanted.

It means that you can enable or disable any accessibility service you want using the action (see for yourself in that action).
Also check the "keep accessibility services on" section in MacroDroid settings.

wow, that sounds good. maybe I can automate the Avast accessibility service so that it toggle off and than on. My goal of doing this is Android to stop disabling the Avast service and so its Webshield. If I get it toggle is off and on for example every day , than I hope that the Webshield stays all the time active.
This is also interesting. That MD setting will keep all accessibility services on or I can choose which one i want (in my case only Avast service)?

no, these all doesnt solve that behaviour unfortunatly. Have tried so much on my deviced, but still the Avast Webshield keeps stopping . Even in Avast forum there is no help.
So thatswhy i came up to the idea with MD to automate. I also made a MD macro to lunch Avast Mobiule app everyday, but that didnt help. So I want to try to automate the accessibility service of Avast.

You can choose (make sure MacroDroid stays on).

Well, starting the "keep accessibility services running" option i get a hint that this is only possible with Root or Adb hack. Since i dont have root I can not use that option, right?
So chance? Or what is adb hack?
As i can see this action also needs root :-(

Ah, ok it means i have to make preparations before.
Do i need to execute both commands or only the first one, because in MC only the first one is mentioned:
adb shell pm grant com.arlosoft.macrodroid android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
followed by:
adb shell pm grant com.arlosoft.macrodroid android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION

For this action you only need write secure settings, but you might need the other permissions for other actions so allow them all.
