### Describe your problem(s)

I have become a little frustrated trying to toggle various app ops and services settings (which seem to not work as well in more recent versions). I have AppManager 3.1.1 installed on all of my devices. For this question, I will use the DuckDuckGo mobile browser (com.duckduckgo.mobile.android). Of note, for Android 6 and 7 devices, I can no longer change any app ops setting (which I still can do from adb). I do recall having the ability to set those before.

More annoying (since I can always change app ops via adb), on Android 6 devices, I can no longer disable any services (disabling services still works with other Android versions). Of particular note, I want to disable androidx.work.impl.background.systemjob.SystemJobService, which allows the application to continually restart. I used to have that disabled, but somehow (I suppose this could always happen via a Google Play Services update, or something similar), it now shows as enabled, and AppManager will not allow me to disable it (the indicator changes to off, but then back on in less than a second). The log doesn't show any activity during attempts to disable this service.
