[MichaelProjects]

any update yet?

[Tonne-TM]

Having exactly the same error (iPhone 13 mini backup, MacOS 12.2.1 M1 Pro).

[Szmiglo]

Same here, unfortunatelly

[kavishdahekar]

Anybody had any luck with this? I'm stuck at the exact same place.

[TonyVlcek]

Same here ✋

When running the migration according to the original guide:

build/Release/watoi <path-to-msgstore.db> ./ChatStorage.sqlite app/Payload/WhatsApp.app/Frameworks/Core.framework/WhatsAppChat.momd

The Core.framework app is not found inside Frameworks.

After looking into that folder I tried using the SharedModules.framework folder instead and running like this:

watoi/build/Release/watoi msgstore.db ./ChatStorage.sqlite app/Payload/WhatsApp.app/Frameworks/SharedModules.framework/WhatsAppChat.momd

That gets over the previous issue and it found the necessary files but it errors out with the message in the title of this issue.

This is my call stack:

The version of WhatsApp I got via Apple Configurator is 24.5.4 (WhatsApp 24.5.4.ipa).

BTW: I'm using watoi because the official migration tool in the Move to iOS Android app fails at 98% complete, saying, "An unknown error occurred".
