Exclamation [Q] Tasker not running on ICS?

I don't know if anyone else has come across this, but it seems that I can't get Tasker to actually stay running in the background - it loads up and allows me to create profiles etc, and after clicking the green tick to apply, the Tasker notification appears (to allow it to stay running), but after a few seconds it disappears. I've tried this both with profiles in the app, and after a clean reinstall of the app with nothing setup, and have the same experience.

I'm going to email a bug report to the developer, but just wanted to see if anyone else had also had this issue, to try and figure out what the cause is.

ROM: MCR Ir4
Tasker Version: 1.1.1u2m
Current devices:
Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Asus Transformer

I haven't installed Tasker on my Gnex, but it worked fine on my Nexus S with ICS.

Interesting - I had assumed it was an OS incompatibility, but maybe it's something else...

Could you tell me - are you both running stock ICS, or a custom ROM?

There's a number of threads on the Google support group for Tasker re ICS issues, including notification icon disappearing. Pent's waiting on ICS for his Nexus S to look into it further.

I'm due to receive my GN tomorrow and am a *very* heavy Tasker user so will be interested to see whether I hit any issues..
Either way I have faith that Pent will sort it; he's never let us down before
Monkey see, monkey do.

the icon disappears sometimes for me but when a profile kicks in the icon comes back, so I think it does actually run. For me anyway.

Running fine for me, stock ICS, light usage (very new)

As for alsex87 I only have an icon when a profile is doing something.
