Tasker vanishes into thin air as it gets removed from the Play Store

Tasker has vanished into a puff of smoke, as it’s no longer available from the Play Store. In other words, those that don’t have the task management app installed or are trying to reinstall it are fresh out of luck.

Tasker is a task management application that allows users to create tasks and have them automatically executed throughout the day, whether that be silencing your smartphone when you go to sleep. having it remind of you certain things during the day, and so on.

Fortunately, it wasn’t pulled by the developer. In fact, according to the developer, it all looks to be one big mistake:

“Google have removed it, as far as I can see mistakenly since they are complaining about something being in the manifest which is simply not there. In a couple of days, after I’ve got a few thousand complaint emails, they may have gotten round to reading the appeal.”

That said, hopefully Google will take a look at the developer’s appeal soon and put it back up. Tasker is an Android application loved by many, and it would be unfortunate to not be able to access it anymore via official channels.

We’ll be sure to keep you updated as to when it’s live again, and hopefully that won’t be long from now. In the meantime, you can download Tasker (Android 4.0 or higher) directly from here. Just be sure to allow the installing of third-party apps checked in your Settings menu. Alternatively, the Tasker download webpage offers different renditions of Tasker for Android versions as low as Cupcake.
