Issue Pulling from Messages.app in macOS Mojave #11

Hello, I updated to macOS mojave today, and am no longer to use iMessageAnalyzer when pulling the data from messages.app.

Namely, it complains Cannot make a backup of chat.db with the reason given being that

Could not make a backup of your messages.db . Error Domain = NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=513 ""chat.db" couldn't be copied because you don't have permission to access "T"."

Let me know if there is any additional information that you might need in order to reproduce this. I would not be surprised if this had to do with some of the new security/privacy features in mojave.

Going into System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Full Disk Access and adding the application seems to solve this.
