Additional information

the backup works with previous versions of squawker, I think it's 3.6.4 / 3.6.3 anyway I think it is the last version from 17.01.2024 (date of the backup that works) the backup made within 3.6.5 can be imported successfully in 3.6.5 but not in 3.7.0 and it doesn't even give me the check that data was imported successfully. I'm not a fan of the new account method since I think it makes it less privacy oriented app because you need a X account now while on the other versions you don't need any account to browse twitter.

Without giving any personal info, can you show the structure of the file you are trying to import in version v3.7.0?

As for the new account method, using regular Twitter/X account, I'm not a fan also but unfortunately this is now enforced by the Twitter/X API since it is not possible to create guest accounts anymore.

kinda hard to look into that wacky backup structure and remove my personal data, I'm gonna do that tho when I have the time and let you know

You could view this "wacky backup structure" with a Json File Viewer app.
You could install one from Play store in your device.
I just installed Json File Viewer Reader Editor on my device and selected a Squawker exported file, took a screen shot and it looks like this (there is no personal info at the first level of the Json tree):

Could you show me how your file looks at the first level of your Json file?

Oh, thanks, this is the structure of the json I can't import in V3.7.0 or V3.7.1 now.

looks like mine has guest account instead of twitter token so this might be an issue in not loading the backup correctly

[j-fbriere]

The version v3.7.2 fixes this issue.
