    There’s also security sandboxes and stuff in Android which don’t allow interaction with the phone components. You ever notice that there are no apps at all which can record the call you’re on? That’s why. They’ve locked it down so that you don’t have the tools to create such an app in the first place.

        They’ve been incrementally locking down those features and options (or security holes) over the years. I’ve used Tasker almost from the very first android phone to automate tasks and watched those features it tied into slowly get stripped away or locked down to the point of being useless.

        Voice recorder. Not phone call recorder. When I said phone components I’m not talking about the smartphone’s sensors and components. I’m saying the “phone” components which make the smartphone able to receive and make calls. That’s actually a sandboxed environment.
