I don't think it's possible to keep the accessibility on if you force close. I think android automatically turns off accessibility if you force close the app. I wonder if it's not for safety reason: android wants to make sure that the user activate the accessibility service. It's maybe a way to prevent users forgetting that they have the accessibility turned on. To investigate...

I just made the test on Amazon Antidote : same result, it deactivates accessibility authorization.

Checked this one, it's standard behaviour from Android. Some have tried to circumvent, only to create more problems. The scenario is covered by UX and going back to the authorisation screen on the Dismoi app will be no surprise. Closing this issue.

The only reasonable response seems to be «do not have to force close the app»
