Settigns fiel can be copied under AOS11, for example using: Total Commander - file manager by C. Ghisler or ZArchiver by ZDevs.

for me the backup was in
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/net.sourceforge.opencamera/files/backups
viewable via adb shell:
adb shell ls -R /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/net.sourceforge.opencamera/files/backups

Total commander did not worked for me. (i think - no permission)
adb pull /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/net.sourceforge.opencamera/files/backups/BACKUP_OC_20230718_160119.xml

to compare two Backup xml files it is easiest to first sort the lines alphabetically..
worked for me nicely..
this way i could check what settings differ from the default and fix some broken configs...

I'm trying to pull data off of an Android 11 device with no USB file transfer and thus no ADB access. The charging port is just not-broken enough to maintain usability, but I can't transfer data except via wifi or mobile data.

It's frustrating to not be able to transfer the Open Camera settings backup from the phone.
