I am not sure what is the issue there, there is a version 0.9.921 of iOSbackup on pypi. Do you have any specific pip configuration? Can you try install iOSbackup directly?

[PseudoFIame]

Same issue here. I am able to install iOSbackup directly, however even afterwards pip3 refuses to install due to unsatisfying requirements of iOSbackup. I am puzzled here. Any idea?

PS: Simply installing iOSbackup installed on my testing OS (debian 10/buster) version 0.9.913, which is too old to match the requirement. There is indeed no newer version available. Other linux OSes like Ubuntu 20.04 work out of the box.

Unfortunately it's because iOSbackup is marked to require Python >= 3.8: https://pypi.org/project/iOSbackup/ You are probably using Python 3.7. Can you confirm?

[Manamama]

Copying myself from related https://github.com/mvt-project/mvt/issues/230 I ran into similar problems, as the older version worked in my configuration (Linux, Python 3.6). After trying compiling it by hand to enforce the newest version and then debugging and tinkering with the resulting issues with iOSbackup>=0.9.921, the only fix was to upgrade Python3 itself to 3.9. It then allowed me the regular installation via: pip3 install --upgrade mvt

NB. Careful with this Python 3.9, as it breaks default Terminal in Ubuntu (which still requires Python 3.6), so a fix is needed: https://www.maketecheasier.com/fix-ubuntu-cannot-open-terminal/ https://askubuntu.com/questions/1132349/terminal-not-opening-up-after-upgrading-python-to-3-7 (or installing Terminator - its alternative).

[botherder]

I have opened a ticket with the developer of iOSbackup, who asked if anyone could test whether the latest version works just as fine with Python 3.7. If anyone has time to test this (I do not at the moment), it would be helpful to report: https://github.com/avibrazil/iOSbackup/issues/19

If indeed iOSbackup 0.9.921 works just fine with Python 3.7, we could kindly ask the developer to change the setup.py so that this installation problem is resolved.

[avibrazil]

I’m the developer of 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.

I have tested it and it seems to work. Steps to reproduce (and test for yourself):

1. Install both python3.6 and python3.9

2. Install the update-alternatives package to switch between the two, add the python alternatives to the list, etc. (I am skipping this part, see any guide to update-alternatives)

3. Set python3.6 as active via: sudo update-alternatives --config python

A. With Python3.6 as active, the standard pip3 install mvt still often results in: MVT - Mobile Verification Toolkit https://mvt.re Version: 1.2.11 Version 1.5.3 is available! Upgrade mvt!

(even with my pip3 still showing: pip3 -V pip 22.0.4 from /home/[username]/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pip (python 3.9) for some strange reason. )

B. This above trick however works: pip3 install --ignore-installed mvt or, to be doubly sure: python3.9 -m pip install pip install --ignore-installed mvt

It updates mvt:

mvt-android version

    _MVT - Mobile Verification Toolkit
            https://mvt.re
            Version: 1.5.3_

, which works with python3.6 active: python3 -V Python 3.6.9

I hope the above makes some IT sense.

Same issue. Using pip3 --version pip 9.0.3 from /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages (python 3.6)

[emrecio]

I don't need iOS, just the android version, is there a "skip" option?

[Te-k]

Some update on this issue : iOSBackup supports python 3.7+ for now, but it relies on avibrazil/NSKeyedUnArchiver which requires python 3.8+ in order to have UID tokens support in plistlib.

So unless this changes in the future, MVT will require python 3.8+.
