Python 3.8 about iosbackup HOT 10 CLOSED

Actually, iOSbackup relies on avibrazil/NSKeyedUnArchiver which also requires python 3.8. If I am right, this is based on the need for UID support in plistlib which was added in python 3.8, so not sure if there is anything to do there.

I don't remember anymore.
I only use 3.9 and up in all my systems.
Please let me know if it was usable in 3.7

from iosbackup.

I can't remember anymore why I put Python 3.8 as a restriction.
Please someone force an installation on older Python and let me know if it works, then I'll reduce the version requirement.

Hi,
I just tested iOSbackup with python 3.8 and decrypted a backup and didn't have any problem. Is there anything specific or test script I should use to confirm that there is no compatibility issue?

What about 3.7?

from iosbackup.

It also seems to work with iOS 3.7.0 so it should be good for all 3.7 versions

from iosbackup.

Just checking in if there are any developments on this?

New version 0.9.924 now requires Python 3.7

from iosbackup.

That’s correct.

iOSbackup requires avibrazil/NSKeyedUnArchiver (which I wrote it myself) which in turns requires plistlib with features that appeared on Python 3.8 only.

So Python 3.8 is indeed the minimum.

Currently Python is 3.11. Why are there people still relying on old 3.7?

I am not sure, but we aren't going to try to push for 3.7 support in MVT in any case. Thanks anyway for being open to do that
