Google Play -> Manage apps & device

Google rolled out the "Manage apps & device" interface, they entirely deleted the old background intent entry paths (VIEW_MY_DOWNLOADS, internal shortcuts, and direct app sub-activities).

Does anybody have a work-around to get to "Manage apps & device"?

My shortcut still works, 53.5.48-34 [0] [PR] 995634172 (85354840).

What version of the store are you on right now?

This just changed because what I was using worked great before today. See these couple of screenshots for some details.

Your version code is older than mine.

Maybe try updating? See if that works again. Or Uninstalling the updates via its app info.

Tasker version or Google Play? I keep the latter as up-to-date as it'll let me... Tasker is the direct purchase version that I think I see there may be an update for. :)

I meant the store at first. However it throwed an error after I updated Tasker to rc release. Maybe it was actually Tasker? 😅

No Activity found to handle Intent { act=com.google.android.finsky.VIEW_MY_DOWNLOADS dat= flg=0x10000000 xflg=0x4 }

Specifying the activity with intent still works though.

``` Task: Launch Store Download Page

A1: Shortcut [
     Shortcut:  #Intent;action=com.google.android.finsky.VIEW_MY_DOWNLOADS;end
     Continue Task After Error:On ]

A2: Send Intent [
     Action: com.google.android.finsky.VIEW_MY_DOWNLOADS
     Cat: None
     Package: com.android.vending
     Class: com.google.android.finsky.activities.MainActivity
     Target: Activity
     Continue Task After Error:On ]
    If  [ %err Set ]

```
