iPhone Backup Extractor 7.5.8.1947 released

Three deploys in a week. Yes, that's how our 2018 is starting. How is yours? Our new release has got a bunch of good ingredients.

1 improvement

  • Our net code received an overhaul, making our interaction with our APIs that much smarter and more robust. It has a number of internal changes to pave the way for doing something pretty cool in the coming period. We're hard at work on that.

4 fixes

  • Extraction of locations is now even more robust than it was, as is linking of contacts, call logs and texts.
  • We handle corrupt PList files in a much smarter way now.
  • We broke our lovely PList file viewer in a build late last year. We've fixed it. Sorry!
  • Undeletion is even smarter. Happy days!

After yesterday's excitement around the release we've only gone and released another build. This one includes a number of changes.

2 features

  • Updated .NET boot strap from 4.0 to 4.6. This allows us to do some new things in the app.
  • We've shipped a prototype component. Can you guess what it is? Watch this space.

2 improvements

  • You'll see the app now boasts of being made by Reincubate in its title. We're proud of that.
  • We log slightly more data when something goes wrong. All the better to help us improve!

iPhone Backup Extractor 7.5.8.1905 released

Today's `1905` release is a big one: we've added preview functionality for contacts and call history. Our pleasure. 💪

See all 6 changes

1 feature

  • New previewers for contacts and call history.

2 improvements

  • We no longer filter out lovely HEIC images: they'll be provided through the automated photo export. Happy days!
  • We no longer extract video thumbnails as photos. They are, but they're not what you want outside of expert mode, and that's still there for users who do.

3 fixes

  • We patched a regression bug for iOS 10.0 encrypted backups. In English, that means we broke it and then we fixed it. Sorry. 🙅‍♀️
  • Recovery of notes and note attachments is more robust than ever. Try and extract some weird stuff, we dare you!
  • We made some minor improvements to how we handle iOS 1 and 2. Remember them? We still have devices that run 'em.
