You apparently got XML files like @Zinogre here. The add-on doesn’t support that yet.
I assume AnkiApp changed its data format recently (for the app store version at least, maybe). I’ll look into supporting the new format but it might take a while.

Hi there, having some trouble importing my decks using the tool, i tried importing the zip file, and I also tried importing it after decompressing it. I also tried the “data folder” option and selected the decompressed file and it says it’s unable to locate the database file in the data folder.
This is the whole message i get:
Error

If the issue only occurs when add-ons are enabled, please use the Tools>Add-ons menu item to disable some add-ons and restart Anki, repeat until you discover the add-on that is causing the problem.

Thank you for your time and great work!
AnkiApp’s data format apparently changed recently and the add-on needs to be updated to support it.
Hi Abdo.
I have downloaded the AnkiApp deck to my computer. It was saved as a file, not folder. It contains no images or media. It was originally saved as .xml so I changed the extension to .csv (I now have both versions saved, and have tried using the AnkiApp Importer on both, as well as the .zip).
Both the “Data folder” and “Database file” field were empty. When searching using the “Data folder” the file was grey, but when I searched using the “Database file” I was able to select it.
When I tried importing it, I received the following notice:
Error
An error occurred. Please start Anki while holding down the shift key, which will temporarily disable the add-ons you have installed.
If the issue only occurs when add-ons are enabled, please use the Tools > Add-ons menu item to disable some add-ons and restart Anki, repeating until you discover the add-on that is causing the problem.

Even if I use the .csv extension?
Yes, the add-on only supports importing SQLite databases.
Thanks for making this add-on,Adbo.
Now I’m trying to use this but there’s an error and I saw your reply to others like me but I don’t know how to update the add-on.
Can you tell me how to update it please?

If you’re trying to import an XML file, the add-on doesn’t support that yet. I’ll look into updating the add-on when I have the time.
I’m trying to import ZIP file.
What’s inside the zip?
I’m sorry, there are XML files in the ZIP.
Then, how can I export (import?) correct file?
There’s apparently no way to do that now.
Does it mean there’s no way to use this now?
Yes, that’s right.
Got it. Thanks for replying.
I’m looking forward to update.
Hi Abdo,
Regarding your reply about updating the add-on for XML files. Will you let us know in this forum when it has been updated? Don’t mean to sound impatient or ungrateful for your work!
Yes, will let you know.
