# ichat2json

Reads an .ichat binary plist file and writes newline-separated JSON to STDOUT

##  Run Instructions

- Open ichat2json.xcodeproj with Xcode.

- Build it.

- In console you'll find the path of the executable.

Console:

```console

Usage:  /Users/[YOURUSER]/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ichat2json-fgxipssxrjlhvrevepwucnmapdzq/Build/Products/Debug/ichat2json path/to/ichat

```

Copy the path, and use this command in a Terminal to dump it in a file:

EX:

```bash

cd /PATH_TO_YOUR_ICHAT_FILE

/Users/[YOURUSER]/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ichat2json-fgxipssxrjlhvrevepwucnmapdzq/Build/Products/Debug/ichat2json file.ichat > file.json
