Can you please run with DEBUG=1 DEBUG_SCP=1 bagbak --raw -f and paste the logs here?

[Matt]

zsh: command not found: DEBUG_SCP im on macos, what do you recommend instead of debug_scp ?

Sorry, DEBUG_SCP=1. It's an environment variable too. Also better upgrade to v3.0.11 (it's not related to this issue though)

[Matt]

DEBUG=1 DEBUG_SCP=1 bagbak --raw -f com.christianselig.Apollo

it just quits here. im on 3.0.11 now

[codecolorist]

Doesn't make sense. Even if there is an exception it should print something

[codecolorist]

I ran it on my macOS 14.0 with the same nodejs v19.9.0 but it didn't reproduce

[Matt]

so its an issue in sshing to the ios device? where does that even happen?

my user is mobile not root if that makes a difference?

[codecolorist]

I hardcoded root/alpine in the code so it will always be root. Besides if there is something wrong with SSH it will definitely print the reason

[Matt]

ahh got it. funny that using the wrong user + pw combo will make this not work completely.

its working now once i hardcoded my correct user + password

im coming from palera1n and when installing that jailbreak, they install to mobile and force you to setup your own password. they dont use root:alpine so maybe its worth having a custom .env or config file or env variables to customize this

[Matt]

now the next issue is with commands not using sudo 😂

i can hardcode change chmod to use sudo, but i wonder if tehre are other places in bagbak that require privileges?

main executable => /private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/BE0D5A55-3C4E-4E4A-AA71-7F7FACB3730E/Apollo.app/Apollo
chmod: changing permissions of '/private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/BE0D5A55-3C4E-4E4A-AA71-7F7FACB3730E/Apollo.app/Apollo': Operation not permitted

            reject(new Error(`remote command "${cmd}" exited with code ${code}`));
                   ^

[Matt]

you can start logging ssh errors like this

  return new Promise((resolve) => {
    client
      .once('ready', () => resolve(client))
      .once('error', (error) => {
        console.error(error)
        return reject(error);
      })
      .connect({
        sock: channel,
        username: user,
        password,
      });
  });

add once error
