Error when serializing data from module SMS: Circular reference detected

[Shellcat-Zero]

When running:
mvt-ios check-backup --output ./check_backup decrypted_backup/

I am getting the error:

                  ValueError: Circular reference detected

I'm running python 3.11.5 and MVT==2.4.5 after cloning the repo. I encountered this error after pulling in the uri=True fix from #434.

@Shellcat-Zero Can you confirm if the same error occurs with mvt==2.4.3 from PyPI? It looks like another bug, but I would be quite surprised if the change introduced in #442 caused this.

[roaree]

SMS module had recent changes in #438 that are not yet in a PyPI release but are in main - seems related.

Thanks for the report! Feel free to reopen if the fix in #444 didn't fix this bug

@roaree 2.4.3 from PyPI does not produce the error. After pulling the latest commits, it appears 2.5.0 works now without the error. Thanks!
