Same on oneplus 7 stock ROM + root. Exemple:

• App Quick edit
• Manual backup apk, data and protected data return

  a: Could not list contents of /data/user/0/com.rhmsoft.edit

But the folder is there:

Same on Pixel 6 Pro:

Errors occurred
Airbnb: a: Could not list contents of
/data/user/0/com.airbnb.android

tons of apps have the issue

Killing the app from app manager solves the issue sometimes (crappy work around).

Same issue here with LineageOS 18.1 (Android 11) But I use the option Closing app process before backup A reboot fixed it, so I assume it got triggered by the app crashing while backing up my apps.

This keeps happening to me. A reboot seemed to somewhat work. But eventually it seems the app crashed again and restarting it caused this issue to occur.

Same trying to backup Gboard on Project Sakura Rom (based on LineageOS), Gboard flashed with OpenGApps.

a: Could not list contents of /data/user/0/com.google.android.inputmethod.latin

Tried changing keyboard (falling back to a non-Google keyboard I have), disabling the app, stop services. Didn't work. Then rebooted and it worked.

I use the option Closing app process before backup

I don't see such an option. Perhaps default in 7.0? It says that it will give the app the stop signal.

I find it strange. I'm not an expert, but it seems to me like it shouldn't be a problem since OABX has Superuser rights. Just snag that data!

thanks same error, restat app can temporally solve it

Try restoring in main (single) if it works then it's a racing condition issue on Android's side. In batch: restoring apps alone first then data alone should solve this.

[machiav3lli]

And yeah, this is already handled better in the latest v8 alphas

Switching the "Files & media" permissions of OABX to "Deny" and then to "Allow management of all files" fixed it for me. Before it seemed to be not set properly, showing conflicting information in different Pages in the Ui, about if it is denied or allowed. FP3 (LOS18.1)

I can confirm that the workaround of @Switch123456789 works.
