A friend of mine she's nervous after reading an article "Behavior changes: Apps targeting Android 12" from Android Developer website. She's afraid of not being able to perform APK downgrade extraction on phones running Android 12.
Actually so called "ADB backup restriction" on Android 12 is not a breaking news. It has been such a very long time since "ADB backup" function could extract no data we want from specific apps such as Whatapp, Telegram, WeChat, etc. That's why we have to take advantage of "allowbackup=true" feature to make it happen.
Let's take a look to verify whether APK downgrade extraction works on phones running Android 12 or not. As below pic is a phone running Android 12 and I'd like to extract LINE for demo purpose.
In my earlier post I've shown you guys the scripts about how to deal with split apks and perform APK downgrade extraction without fail. All steps are the same but this time I want to use DOS batch command to accomplish this mission.
As you could see that I got a backup file named line.ab in hand. Look into chat history would be a bit more persuasive.
Don't forget to restore LINE to its original state in the final stage.
