Well done.
However, it's still off-topic. Which is sad because I have questions about it.

Same setup here but with Magisk 25.0 on LOS19.1 working flawlessly, even with XPL in Shelter. Needed more than a few reboots before everything seemed settled though.

Looking to upgrade to LOS19 from Pie when I have time. What do you mean "with XPL in Shelter"

I mean that I use XPL in the work profile, set up with the Shelter app. But I was even mistaking there, I'm using Island, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.island instead of Shelter.
LSposed is brilliant with the work profile.

Can you explain your setup? Do you have XPL in both work and personal profiles or just one of them? What benefits does that bring?

I'm using the two separate profiles like how they were designed to, to keep apps, data and usage of both profiles separate from each other. So each profile has its own telephone number, its own contact list and of course set of apps. With XPL installed in both profiles, I can use different privacy settings for the apps in each profile. For instance, WhatsApp in the work profile has access to all contacts in the work contact list, while in the personal profile WhatsApp only sees the starred contacts in the personal list. That's an advantage over the Dual Apps method you probably know from MIUI or other ROMs, where apps get access to the same contact lists, the same calendar, etc.

LSposed supports this very well, when opening the apps list in the scope for XPL, the personal and work apps are listed separately.

do you need tasker paid version to use this specific script ?

 

[akhil17kr]

is there anyway in which we can make sort of shortcut for a installed app which directly jump it to xprivacy lua settings page to modify it's privacy setting ?

On or after July 12 the pro companion app will be removed from the Play store by Google because it uses the permission QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES. I am not going to try to provide a justification for this permission because Google will most likely reject it anyway because an app is not allowed to directly or indirectly have an effect on other apps, which is the whole purpose of XPrivacyLua.

This means that the pro companion app will only be available outside of the Play store after July 12. Pro feature purchases will keep being recognized as long as the app is kept installed, but it won't be possible to install the app again after it has been removed from the Play store by Google.

Note that it is not allowed to use Play store purchases without/outside of the Play store. So, I can't transfer or exchange a Play store purchase for anything else because it would mean violating the agreement I have with Google as a developer, which could have consequences for the other apps published in the Play store (FairEmail and NetGuard).

Which also means disable Play Protect check, else that would silently uninstall pro companion app

So on your site there will be update and possible to switch over to your version? And I hope you'll keep continue to maintenance the app. I can't image to live in android world without XPL and netguard. Now I'm trying fairmail free and it's damn good email app, soon I'll buy a full version (not using this mail or nickname). Your the best app developer I ever seen foooorr a long time (pure genius).
Stay well and your girlfriend and have happy life.

I purchased both the pro upgrade from the PlayStore and the non-store donation upgrade because I depend on the app so much and wanted to support the developer even more!

Hi @Fif_,
Can you help me check advertisingidclient$info in SDK 30, android 11?
The hooks cannot find the com.google.android.gms.ads.identifier.AdvertisingIdClient class.
Optional hook=Privacy.AdvertisingIdClient$Info.getId: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.google.android.gms.ads.identifier.AdvertisingIdClient$Info
Thanks!

That's caused due obfuscation of classes using proguard.
If AdvertisingIdClient is obfuscated, you can't hook it and the app can read the original advertising id.
As you can see using my app VDInfos, will always show the original advertising id:

[APP][v1.10] VD Infos (Package: com.vitaodoidao.vdinfos)

(Para quem fala PORTUGUÊS, o próximo post está totalmente traduzido !) VD Infos v1.10 As we all know, Android is a super powerful and super versatile operating system. What nobody tells you is that all your personal details and confidential...

You can download the pro companion app here, but I am not allowed to exchange Play store purchases for anything else:

Nope, I'm using your app and it doesn't show any advertising id, it just says [Fail. Not Found.]

 

[VD171]

That happens when Ads ID is disabled by default on google settings.
You can spoof it hooking the method getAdvertisingIdInfo:

AdvertisingIdClient | Google Play services | Google for Developers

developers.google.com

As I said, you can't hook if AdvertisingIdClient is obfuscated. So, it remains same on my app VDInfos.
If you want to hook Ads ID even if AdvertisingIdClient is obfuscated, you should hook the whole Intent { act=com.google.android.gms.ads.identifier.service.START pkg=com.google.android.gms }

Be sure "get location" is disabled for google maps and some other critical app, like google services framework.
Good luck

Are you sure about this? Play protect uninstalls apps that are considered to be malware, not apps that are removed from play store. I have apps on my phone that are not on the playstore any more and PP hasn't touched them. Even an app (not installed through play) that I've had for years is suddenly marked as a possible threat and PP is busting my @@ about it all the time but it hasn't uninstalled it.

Yes, it's happened to me (though I don't recollect which apps and I restored from back up). Previously, the behavior was exactly as described

So where do we repurchase the pro app, and how is the license verified without the play store? I just want to make sure I can install all my hooks when I upgrade my phone every now and then.
