Apple Notes import fails to read data from group.com.apple.notes (MacOS 10.13) #215

Open jessicabartley opened 7 months ago

jessicabartley commented 7 months ago

Obsidian importer does not seem to recognize any Apple Notes data within the ~/Library/Group Containers/group.com.apple.notes/ folder on MacOS 10.13.6 (High Sierra). I have also tried to import from ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/ with no success. No error messages are received. Just a window stating that 0 notes were imported, skipped, or failed.

Is this because I'm using a (very) old operating system? Thanks for the assist!

I have the same issue, on MacOS Sonoma 14.6, with a MacBook Pro (M1 Pro).

No error messages or so, just the screen with "0 imported".

Only tried the default ~/Library/Group Containers/group.com.apple.notes/.

Obsidian version 1.6.7

BTW in my case it's with giving Obsidian "Full Disk Access" (just temporarily for the import).

Does the plugin maybe not inherit those permissions when it runs? Does it run in some permission-restricted sandbox?

Found related https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-importer/issues/144, which is about Notes folders with special characters, but 1) it was fixed, 2) I don't see those errors in the developer console
