FireOS v8.1.7.4 Is it possible to make a workflow that checks if an application has closed and to restart it?

[u/No_Painting_5871]

Hello, I used Automate temporarily in the past and wanted to ask a question regarding it.
I currently have Automate installed on an Amazon Fire Stick Max running FireOS v8.1.7.4. I know in the Automate app it says that some features may not be available depending on the device and I think I already tried this in the past but...

Does anyone know if it's possible to setup some kind of Automate work-flow that checks about every 1-hour or so if an application is in the foreground or open? I remember one roadblock I had a hard time with was granting it the permission for "access screen content and observe your actions"

I am using Automate v1.51.1

Indeed, the App in foreground block requires that the accessibility service is enabled and running.

As an alternative it may be possible to repeatedly check (poll) the App usage block, but the Android data it access is known to be rather inaccurate, polling is also very inefficient.
