App open and close using apps with usage / root

So i decided to try another app out called E-robot to see if i can use some of it's commands and i noticed something, there are options to receive focus on an app using "apps with usage" instead of accessibility. As far as detecting if an app has been opened I'm assuming they used root, but even though the app is free I'd rather not be running more than one automation app if you can implement this feature. I want to refrain from using accessibility since it alters encryption.

Hi,
I'm aware about this feature, however it does not provide a way to notify applications about changes so apps have to query the service very often which is probably even worse than using an accessibility service.
I'll add it to the todo list to add it as an alternate way to query the current foreground app then you can test if it works better on your device.

Martin
