App unavailable on Play Store & can't give it accessibility permission #47

Hello!

On Xiaomi I was able to turn the flashlight on with double tap of the volume keys and I wanted something similar on my Pixel 6a.

I'm unable, however, to make this app work.

First, it's unavailable in the Google Play Store because it was made for an earlier version (I have Android 14 at the time of writing).

Second, I can't give this app the required accessibility permission even when it's sideloaded (the operating system grays out and blocks this option for security reasons).

I suspect this app is discontinued, but just in case I wish an update to this app is launched so we can have a fast reaching fashlight at hand whenever it is needed.

Thank you

Hi @EmanuelAlexandru,
you could try out cyb3rko/flashdim.
It has the functionality to toggle the flashlight by pressing both volume keys.
