- Imported my private keys from exodus into electron cash mac os wallet and got my BCC/BCH
- Tried to transfer to an exchange and kept receiving a transfer error
- Gave up on the desktop wallet and downloaded electron cash on my android
- Imported private keys into electron cash app
- Balance shows 0 and no transaction history
- Checked on blockchair and the BCC/BCH is still in my public key
- Importing BCC/BCH private keys into electron cash mac os wallet also shows balance 0 and no transaction history

You could try to import your key to another wallet.
On bitcoincash.org you could find useful infos about that.
About electron cash: Users warned to use it
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2059091.0

But I hope you will be lucky to get your BCH back.

Sorry, I don't use mac but know an android wallet which supports BCH. Coinomi: it seems possible to import private keys. Didn't try it but found this article. I use Coinomi and got my bch.
Here is an article for importing private key:
https://coinomi.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/29000009716-can-i-import-a-standard-private-key-to-coinomi-
But can't believe that there should be only one wallet for mac.

BTW: As I gained BCH on coinomi, I had to add the bitcash coin wallet and got step by step tutorial (very easy) by coinomi. But as I made a backup and restored, BCH disappeared. I had to do the procedure again and got BCH back.
Maybe it is the same on your wallet?

Why don't you use paper wallets instead? You can make them in a few minutes and just print your wallet keys on a paper and the entire process will be under 30 minutes. I am planning on doing this tomorrow. Best of lucks getting your BCC!

That I correctly understand: Did you transfer your private key of BTC or BCH?

No, try to transfer private key from bitcoin. In some wallets BCH disappear, when wallets are backuped and restored again. You must follow the steps once more as you did on gaining BCH from BTC. The important thing is your BTC history before split. Then transfer  private key where you had your BTC to coinomi. There you should be able to gain your bch.

The important thing is your BTC history before split.If the step might be risky for you to transfer your btc key, just send your btc to another wallet you own. Then transfer  private key where you had your BTC to coinomi. There you should be able to gain your bch.

Coinomi gave me the same message ("The private key does not contain any funds") when i tried importing my BTC private keys into my coinomi BCH wallet.

ps: i had imported/sweep my BTC private key from exodus to electron cash with success already, but since the transfer from electron cash to an exchange gave en error, i tried with electron cash android app and it starts not showing funds or anything
ps2: the funds are showing on my wallet on blockchair

Does it take time after you import your private keys into Electron Cash for the BCC to show? Mine shows 0?

In coinomi I must do a few steps, then they show up within seconds. I think it depends on history
But many users seem to have problems with electron cash..

I have been watching this thread to see if you get your BCH back.
I am trying to get mine right now, so hopefully it works.
If I am successful then I will reply here with instructions about how to do it (using paper wallet).

Use 2 full nodes. 1 Bitcoin Core full node for your BTC, then 1 Bitcoin Cash full node (or BitcoinABC, whatever they are calling it) and then import your wallet. dat into the BitcoinABC folder. BitcoinABC has replay protection so you SHOULD be safe. Im too scared to lose my real BTC trying to get free money so I haven't done anything yet, but I plan in dumping all of it as soon as I learn for a fact how to do it the right safe way.

Maybe you could first transfer your bitcoin into another wallet. And then export the key. Why? Had an issue at my wallet. Gained BCH, then sent an amount of BTC to a service and made a backup of my wallet. Restored and had no BCH in my wallet. So I had to follow the step once more and full BCH appeared although I had less bitcoin in my wallet. But bitcoin history was mirrored by BCH and I got the amount that I had before fork.

Not that blockhair has a wallet, but when i check my wallet (you can check transactions or wallets) on blockchair, it still shows my funds there. So it havent been stolen or anything..
