When I execute in my old phone with Android 6.0 (LG g3), the scripts works perfectly but when I try to the the same in my new phone with (samsung s6 edge) with android 7.0 installed I face this error:

Failed to install tmp/LegacyWhatsApp.apk: Failure [-26: Package com.whatsapp new target SDK 19 doesn't support runtime permissions but the old target SDK 23 does.]

And the same error when is trying to restore, so I lost my data, but I can recovery from google drive:

Failed to install tmp/base.apk: Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_UNEXPECTED_EXCEPTION: Failed to parse /data/app/vmdl754377382.tmp/base.apk: AndroidManifest.xml]

I read that android 7.0 is supported, so do you know how to deal with this error?

This post https://github.com/EliteAndroidApps/WhatsApp-Key-DB-Extractor/issues/10#issuecomment-386794491 offers a workaround if you can get hold of a spare Android 6 device to extract the key.
