I assume this needs to be ran on the host machine? I've tried exporting the account postbox directory to another machine and running the jup notebook but doesn't seem to be working. Does the notebook file need to be in the same directory with the db_sqlite? Once I run the jup notebook server and open this ipynb I just get a 0 byte DB and an error saying no such table T7

Just looking for initial setup guidance.

Hi, You better install Python (v3.10x or later), copy the code parts within a .PY file, edit this line "con = sqlite3.connect('plaintext.db')" to match the path of the db_sqlite file and execute the .PY with Python.

How to get the Sqlite DB file from an Android phone or Windows desktop computer? I searched a lot, but can't find them.

I'm stuck in the fist step of the problem 🤷

@pauloneves this is for iOS/macOS apps only, other apps are completely different
