Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for modifying applications without user input may include (1) identifying a need to modify at least one application on the computing device, (2) initiating modification of the application on the computing device, (3) while the application is being modified, monitoring event notifications generated by an accessibility service that provides user interface enhancements for disabled individuals on an operating system installed on the computing device, (4) determining, based on an analysis of an event notification generated by the accessibility service, that a user of the computing device is prompted, on the computing device, to provide input necessary to complete the modification of the application, and (5) in response to detecting that the user is prompted to provide the input, automatically supplying the input in order to complete the modification of the application. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
