Cannot use app specific password in docker?

[liquidtoon01]

Hi, I'm trying to use an app specific password to negate the need for MFA, but i am getting the following error;

CRITICAL:root:'dsInfo'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/gimme_iphotos/__init__.py", line 81, in main
    DownloaderApp(vars(args)).run()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/gimme_iphotos/downloader.py", line 106, in run
    api = self.connect_to_icloud(config)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/gimme_iphotos/downloader.py", line 122, in connect_to_icloud
    api = PyiCloudService(config["username"], config["password"])
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pyicloud/base.py", line 211, in __init__
    self.authenticate()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pyicloud/base.py", line 239, in authenticate
    self.params.update({"dsid": self.data["dsInfo"]["dsid"]})
KeyError: 'dsInfo'

Any ideas why this is happening? Happens when doing interactively or via config file

FWIW I get the same error when using an app specific password with a pip3 install but this seems to be an upstream issue in pyicloud.

@liquidtoon01 Thank you for reporting this issue!

I think I had some issues with app-specific passwords and pycloud in the past when I was developing gimme-iphotos, but I can't find the corresponding issue currently.

@deegs Thanks for linking the upstream issue!

I haven't had time to dig into pycloud yet, but from the linked issue it seems like this can't be fixed easily. And it is definitely has to be fixed in the upstream, unfortunately.

I will keep this issue opened until we have a solution.
