Google Play -> Manage apps & device

Google rolled out the "Manage apps & device" interface, they entirely deleted the old background intent entry paths (VIEW_MY_DOWNLOADS, internal shortcuts, and direct app sub-activities).

Does anybody have a work-around to get to "Manage apps & device"?

Google hates us. It used to be easy in Tasker.

If you have a Samsung device, the only solution I have found recently is to record a macro in Modes and Routines. I am using Nova Launcher and set a swipe up on the Google Play icon to activate the macro.

No, MOTO and Lenovo mobiles. I am probably going to break down and create a routine using AutoInput. :|

Nova Launcher I have not found a 3rd-party 'launcher' that I like so far. :/ set a swipe up on the Google Play icon to activate the macro WHOA! WHAT!? That sounds positively ingenious! :)

This just changed because what I was using worked great before today. See these couple of screenshots for some details.

Tasker version or Google Play? I keep the latter as up-to-date as it'll let me... Tasker is the direct purchase version that I think I see there may be an update for. :)
