How can one pull the (private) data of one’s own Android app?

by

adb backup will write an Android-specific archive:

adb backup  -f myAndroidBackup.ab  com.corp.appName

This archive can be converted to tar format using:

dd if=myAndroidBackup.ab bs=4K iflag=skip_bytes skip=24 | openssl zlib -d > myAndroidBackup.tar

Search for “Update” at that link.

Alternatively, use Android backup extractor to extract files from the Android backup (.ab) file.
