After clearing the cache of the MacroDroid Helper app, I gave ADB permissions again via the following commands and then restarted MacroDroid Helper. It works again for enabling Wi-Fi via MacroDroid:



Code: 
adb shell pm grant com.arlosoft.macrodroid.helper android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

adb shell pm grant com.arlosoft.macrodroid.helper android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION

adb shell pm grant com.arlosoft.macrodroid.helper android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION

adb shell pm grant com.arlosoft.macrodroid.helper android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE

adb shell pm grant com.arlosoft.macrodroid.helper android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW

adb shell pm grant com.arlosoft.macrodroid.helper android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

MacroDroid Helper App

In order to toggle Wifi (and a number of other features) on devices running Android 10+ a new helper app is required. This helper app is built against an older target SDK allowing it to still invoke the Wifi functionality. It cannot appear on the Play Store since they no longer allow apps built...

When I try to download through this link, the version is 1.16, could you make the apk available?

So I know, but at least for me, when I download from this link and update the app, I stay on 1.16 and not 1.18.

Are you sure the app updated?

If it didn't update, that would explain why it's still showing 1.16.

I don't know why it might not have updated, but It might be worth uninstalling the helper and installing the one from the MD wiki, as I think that will show 1.18 is installed.

Just an observation, but just for giggles I downloaded the apk at the above link and its file size does not match my locally backed up copy of the apk for version 1.18.

I have no dog in this hunt at this time, and am running 1.18, so I'm not going to try to re-install it or anything.

Was having similar issues. I now have both the generic and communication helpers installed. Shouldn't be required, but that works for me...
