I have been a beta tester for a while and the kinks seem to have all been taken care of. (My pet issue of not being able to do a System Lock from an app created by App Factory was not addressed. I continue to have Tasker/App Factory 4.9 on one device so I can create apps with this feature.)

I have been using auto tools tasker plugin by the same developer for a month , with special permissions (modify secure settings) given by adb on pc (one time). It allows us to change many of the settings that used to require root (can toggle screen inversion ,change immersive mode to hide nav bar, allow reverse portrait mode (to turn my s9+ upside down while sitting on wireless charger with earbuds connected on the bottom of the phone) and a lot more. Great stuff. I no longer feel like I need root .

I understand the new tasker will do the same thing without the plugin ,as long as you grant tasker the permissions with adb on pc one time .
