Describe what should have happened?

Scenario control overlay shows up, allowing you to start or to configure a smart scenario.

Hi and thank you for your feedback.

I have seen this crash on crashlytics from ages, only on Samsung devices but I've never been able to find how to really fix it.

I have implemented a few solutions for it in the 3.0.0 beta version, but as I can't reproduce the issue, I'm not sure they are effective.

Can you try the latest beta version available here and see if it fixes your problem? https://github.com/Nain57/Smart-AutoClicker/releases/tag/3.0.0-beta04

[empjustine]

Automations in the latest beta build are working.

I however noticed 1 other issue while using the beta build: pressing the "pause" button in the overlay only half-works;

• it stops the automations but;
• the "overlay toolbar" never changes to the "paused mode" where you can edit settings.

It looks like using the notification "show/hide" option twice fixes the "overlay toolbar" state.

Should I open another issue for that?

[empjustine]

It looks like this other issue already exists: https://github.com/Nain57/Smart-AutoClicker/issues/378, so I'm declaring this specific one as fixed.
