Could you make edited screenshots, with secrets blacked out? It's very hard to troubleshoot if you just say "similar to this other guy's screenshot for a different problem".

@ThomasHabets any idea why this might be happening?

[ThomasHabets]

@AnshulMalik dunno. I'm not even sure if account transfer is part of the opensource code.

But I'll file a bug internally.

[AnshulMalik]

I used this app to export the barcodes individually and then import in iOS,

May be the issue is that iOS app is expecting single instance of TOTP/whatever, and in android export, we are exporting it as an array.

[ThomasHabets]

@AnshulMalik wait, what?

Could you rewrite how to reproduce this? You're now saying you're using other apps?

[AnshulMalik]

Steps to reproduce are the same.

I found a workaround which is mentioned in the comment above.

[ThomasHabets]

Oh I see, that was workaround, not clarification of how to trigger.

[ThomasHabets]

I have filed b/171954490 internally.
