[Feature Request] Shizuku Support as an alternative to root #832

Closed realeatham closed 5 months ago

realeatham commented 5 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe it. This project requires root to access the files to backup, but not everyone has root.

Describe the primary solution Support Shizuku (https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/moe.shizuku.privileged.api) to allow the app to use adb instead of root . Shizuku can run on most android devices without root

Screenshots If you're willing to add demonstrative screenshots, you're welcome to do so.

What exactly does Shizuku provide? Looking at its website and the one of SwiftBackup which is using it I still don't understand this. Shizuku does only provide ADB (shell) and therefore the only backup mechanism without root is ADB backup, isn't it? and ADB backup does not work for many apps nowadays ...
