Hi! I have the following error on mvt-android with download-apks:

Similar error with check-adb command.
The device is Samsung Galaxy S23+ and I have just installed the latest version from pypi.

I have reasons to believe that the authorities hacked into my device by installing an application masking as android battery status (or stats) app (they had physical access to the device). It looks like they already uninstalled the app itself, but I want to check for any traces and leftovers before using the phone again.

Would check that you have the latest adb version installed, or otherwise try again with ADB over USB

The wired connection works, thanks!
Should I close the issue?

Thanks!
