Using on macos getting the following error #121
Comments
I just pushed a fix to the |
We made progress, so thanks for the fix. Mostly things worked as it should, the companion app installed, backup of apps was made but the contacts and sms were not backed up. Am I missing something? Here is the simple error at end of backup. |
Interesting. This is one of the most commonly reported issues and you're using a Google phone, something I privately use this script with, so perhaps I could debug this given enough information. Could you please provide some more info about your device, such as its model and whether you granted the necessary permissions to the companion app (for example, by pressing the Export Data button, then taking a screenshot of the app's granted perms)? Also, did you press on the "Export Data" button when the app was opened on your device? |
The model is a Pixel7. The first time run I did not see or was not aware of the second switch that needed to be turned on after you hitting the export button but it did not seem to make any difference, still have the same error. See below.
|
OK I think I got it, after you hit the export data button, then you are shown the switch to allow file transfer, THEN you have to hit the back arrow and Then hit the export data button again to get it to work. So in my case I hit the export data button twice for it to work right. Maybe it was the way it was designed and I just did not read through the instructions correctly but it seems to be working on this run. Great little app. |
I'll close this issue now since the problem appears to have been fixed. Thanks for reporting it. |

Describe the issue below.
Installed your requirements via Mac Ports because that is what I have and figured it should be the same as Brew. Installed your/the unzipped app bundle in ~/Applications and opened a terminal in the folder and ran the backup.sh command.
The error is as below.
@IMac Open_Android_Backup_v1.0.18_Bundle % ./backup.sh Whiptail is not installed, but dialog is. Defining whiptail as a function that calls dialog. timeout is not available, can't continue. Please refer to the README for usage instructions.
Also may be of note:
When I installed coreutils via mac ports you get a warning about name changes which may or may not effect your app.
`---> Some of the ports you installed have notes:
coreutils has the following notes:
The tools provided by GNU coreutils are prefixed with the character 'g' by default to distinguish them from the BSD
commands.
For example, cp becomes gcp and ls becomes gls.
