Register a getcontact account in the emulator

[Nux-xader]

how do I register a get contact account in the emulator, I've tried it but getcontact detects incoming calls is there an alternative so I can register an account via the emulator, without using verification via whatsapp

Can u try to install Android 6.0 Emulator? Genymotion can emulate incoming calls. U have to pass verification steps in getcontact, without auth u cannot use it and intercept credential.s

Is it possible to reverse engineer and then change the path of the GetContactSettingsPref.xml file outside the root directory, for example sdcard, so you can get the key without needing root access?

[kovinevmv]

No way, it is strongly restricted by Android OS to change sandbox path of app

[Nux-xader]

do you think there is another alternative so that I can still get the key without root access

It's better to install rooted emulator or root ur physical device. I don't know other approaches.

@Nux-xader were you able to find the file in the rooted emulated device ?

were you able to find the file in the rooted emulated device ?

I haven't tried it because I was blocked when I wanted to register my account via the emulator

@kovinevmv Could you please suggest me what else I can do , For my setup I am unable to find the file, firstly in genymotion play store getcontact app is not available, downloaded the app via third-party vendors like apkpure but unable to locate the files at the suggested location

Download APK file on PC from website using ur browser. Find it in explorer (find the folder). Run emulator. Then drag&drop file from folder of PC to emulator window. APK will be installed.

Thanks for the response, that I was able to do it but still in file explorer not able to find the file, the app.source.getcontact folder is empty

Default android explorer doesn't have root right. Install something like "Root explorer" app
