attributedBody decoding

[magnacartatron]

I think this is a bit out of date. Messages maybe be stored in the text field but generally are stored as binary blobs in attributedBody. They look like serialized NSObjects and require some decoding. If you can do this with python it would be pretty cool.

Yeah I noticed that as well, I've been working on a fix and a web interface for this project in my free time but I've been busy due to school work. I have a (semi) working fix for decoding the NSObjects but still working on getting it ready for release. I'd love some help if you're willing!

@siddhxrth To the best of my ability I've been able to unpack the data but my ObjectiveC knowledge is a bit limited. Ideally it's unpacked like a serialized object but it's a bit trickier than that. Also it appears that it's not always the same fields being utilized. I've also noticed that more and more of the text fields that used to have data in my Chat.db are now moving to attributedBody. I've can give you the swift code but it's pretty nasty.
