src.next: Can't do `adb backup` on Kiwi Browser
Since I’m not root, I’m trying to use adb backup to backup app data. But when I do, all I’m left with is a 37 byte file.

@DUOLabs333 finally fixed!
Now it’s good and nice, and as I promised (just with a couple of hours late)
I fixed the build, plus I unified everything in 2 files that are easy to manipulate: https://github.com/kiwibrowser/src.next/tree/kiwi/chrome/android
If you need to add a resource: chrome/android/chrome_java_resources.gni If you need to add a new java class: chrome/android/chrome_java_sources.gni
If you want the latest changes of kiwibrowser:src.next, you can run the action
\_ Forked kiwi: Rebase on top of kiwibrowser:kiwi branchand it will do everything for you.Thank you very much (again!) for being one of the early user of this system and my apologies on blocking your workflow, your help is very appreciated.
In a couple of hours I’ll point you to the right file where you need to add your resources + java file 😃 and then you’ll be able to compile and it’ll work.
It’s just that the file that gives such instructions doesn’t exist yet.
It’s worth noting that
adb backupno longer allows data backup on Android 12, so even if it’s changed to true, it’s a short term solution, since as soon as Google starts requiring apps on playstore to target SDK 31 (likely next year),adb backupwill become useless.So instead, developing some sort of built in backup feature (with its fair security assessment) might be worth evaluating in the short future.
