Bug description
50% of the time signal will crash the other 50% of the time nothing will be imported.
It should be noted that there is no way to select which file to restore, so I have ensured the plaintext file in question is the only file in the directory
../TARGETDIRECTORY/PlaintextBackups. TARGETDIRECTORY is the directory chosen for backup, and my understanding is that backups will be automatically read/written to either ../TARGETDIRECTORY/PlaintextBackups or ../TARGETDIRECTORY/FullBackups depending on the type. Backing up seems to work, it's restoring that fails. Furthermore, there seems to be no way to start a restore of an encrypted file without reinstalling/reregistering Signal-JW, so the restore encrypted backup could probably be removed from the menu, it is currently not doing anything useful, at least not for me.
This is a short file with 111 messages, 40kB.
Log attached.
The interesting thing to me here is:
06-12 13:37:20.822 22364 22485 E AndroidRuntime: Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Creating a recipient based on username alone is not supported!
