Script or Automate Permissions for Nosy App

orwellianchild

I have an app I use to pre-order lunch at work (so I need to use it daily). Unfortunately, it needs a lot of invasive toggles to work properly. It needs all of the following (which I normally have toggled off):

Location on the app itself
Location on Google Play services
Nearby devices on Google Play services
Reroute location requests to the OS set to OFF under Sandboxed Google Play

I think this has to do with some kind of geofencing in the app to select only the food options that are available in my office complex...

In any case, I'd like to find a way to create a "master toggle" that switches these on all at once and the off as soon as I make my order... Does anyone have experience with this kind of behavior or have any fixes for automating all these switch flips?

I don't believe there's a native OS feature for that, so you will probably have to install one of the many automation/shortcut apps to accomplish this. The problem with these apps are that they typically need many invasive permissions and some even only work on rooted phones.

You could create a separate user profile for this app. This way the app and google play services won't have access to the data on your main profile and they will only be running when you actively use the profile - provided that you end the session after you are done.
