Hi, I need to kill an application. I have tested these 2 actions :

  • Kill Application: Does not work because my phone is not rooted. Is it possible to give permission for this action via ADB hack ? (I have already given the basic ADB hack permissions, so that I can use the Dark mode command, but I have seen there are some additional permissions we can give via ADB hack)
  • Kill Background Process: I have tested it, the app was not killed.

Thank you. That's clear 🥲

How can this be closed via the UI ? opening the notification bar then to click on close

Depending on what kind of use you want to kill for, it may be possible to freeze the application using a combination of Shizuku and Hail.

You may find the information in this thread helpful.

How do you open Shizoku's shortcuts in a macro?

In the past, to give administrator rights to Android apps, you had to root the device. Well, with Shizuku you can do most of what you do with root privileges, but without having to root your device. What Shizuku does is allow common applications to directly use system APIs with ADB...

I think it will probably stop with this command.

I see that you are searching in the browser, but is it possible to search directly in the Google Play Store app?
At least on my Galaxy A22 5G / Android 13 it is installable and works.

I have first search on Play store app on my S20, but could not find it. Then I have tried on the browser and there I could see it, but it was not reported as incompatible and the Install button is greyed out.
I am surprise you can have it in Android 13. You probably installed it prior to Android v13 upgrade.

It is installable on Android 13 on at least multiple devices I have.

I don't know what the limitation is, but I think it is an issue with your device, as it can be installed on devices with Android 13 from the beginning, such as the Google Pixel 7 Pro.

When I search "ADB shell" on my Play store app, he is the result :

I have never had such issue before. I guess it is because of geographical zones: I am in Europe. Where are you ?

Can someone else test if he can see this app in his Play store ?

I am in Asia and we use the same Google account, so maybe if I have an installation history for Android 13 or earlier, I can install it on other devices.

I have tested on a friend having a Samsung tablet, he does not have this app in his Play store as well. I guess it is not available in Europe 😥

Thank you for the link to the apk. I have installed ADB Shell.
I have then tested in MacroDroid but it did not work.

Here is what I have entered :

Do I need to enter something specific on this screen too ?

Here is the permission I have given to ADB Shell, does it need other permissions ?
