Unable to start bug - person_centric_id

[nathanjmassey]

I'm getting an error message when trying to run imessage-exporter. Any ideas on what the problem could be? Details below,

System: macOS High Sierra 10.13.6
Messages.app: v11.0

I ran cargo run imessage-exporter to get the package installed.

I then ran imessage-exporter -d and got the below error,

High Sierra is very old; this software targets the latest releases for MacOS and iOS only.

Specifically, this older table does not have the person_centric_id, which is required for deduplicating contacts.

This is now resolved by #250!
