How to detect which app has been updated and clear cache without root

[Goodies]

I'm looking to make a script that detects the name of the app (or package) that has been updated.

I don't see a base with Macrodroid how to make this script, maybe with a piece of additional code (intent, regex, ...?) but I'm not skilled enough.

Second thing I would like scripted is to be able to clear the cache (only the cache not the data lol)

Small important precision, script to be executed without root but with adb Hack

Thank you for your help.

Thanks for your quick reply but this solution is not very "clean" with clic on user interface and not very secure.

I think it's possible to do it knowing that we can do it on the data, I think the solution is not far away ;-)

It's only possible with root or UI Interaction as far as I know.

Indeed, I saw that you could delete the data of an application with MacroDroid but not its cache.

So even root with Macrodroid we can't delete the cache of an application?

Yes you can, however I don't know to do it. I think @Jacob L knows

You can clear cache like this but it isn't specific to an app: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25631612/how-to-use-the-adb-shell-pm-trim-caches-command
