Action tasks broadcast "track_record" stopped working
Since last week, the track_record task in a Action task broadcast stopped working. The broadcast sends two tasks: preset and track_record. The preset change is performed correctly, but the recording doesn't start anymore. There was no change from my side in Locus Map- nor Tasker configuration that could trigger the malfunction.
Attached is the Tasker task I use to start the car recording. It follows the example from the Action Tasks (Broadcast) wiki page and worked until last week.
I am currently using Locus Map version 4.13.1 but one version earlier carried the problem as well.
Use case: when the bluetooth of my car is connected, Tasker broadcasts the task to make Locus Map auto-start the track recording and I change the profile to Car. I have a similar task for bike trips.
The same problem 
Hi Auric,
there is a change in the "Target API" of the Locus Map forced by Google. This caused the need to have the app "Excluded from battery optimization" to make this work. Open please side track recording panel in the app. Do you see info about optimization there? You may also exclude it directly in the system battery settings. Then "intent" should work as expected.

@Auric, that would be a disaster - and I fortunately cannot confirm, all intents work here as expected. :D
