Changes

Made long profile names scroll if you long click one of them so you can see their full name. Demo
Updated target API to 31. Let me know if anything breaks because of this
A security issue with Tasker shortcuts was found. Because of this when you launch an existing shortcut created with previous Tasker versions a warning will come up that you have to confirm to run it. If you re-create your shortcuts this warning will not show up anymore.
Changed Input Dialog action so that the input field has a max height so that it doesn't hide the buttons on the bottom if it gets too big
Changed name of WiFi Tether action to WiFi Tether (Hotspot)
Changed net.dinglisch.android.tasker.PERMISSION_RUN_TASKS permission to protection level dangerous which means that apps that want to use that permission now need to explicitly request it from the user

Changed the (invisible) label of the home project to Default Project for better accessibility
Changed the File and Directory types of pickers in the Pick Input Dialog action so that they use Tasker's internal file picker.
