Setting password then fails to unzip on Mac

Open helloniklas opened this issue 6 years ago • 9 comments

So, all works fine with password set to nil. Setting a simple password it zips fine, but when unarchiving on the Mac, password field pops up, but it then doesn't accept the password I set.

I'm using

                try Zip.zipFiles(paths: zipURLs, zipFilePath: zipFilePathURL, password: "pass", progress: { (progress) -> () in

Hi. I've the same problem. I can zip file with password, but when I try to unzip that file with used password, it doesn't allow to unzip and ask the password again and again. Please help me with this. Thanks.

I ended up using a different library. But even so. It’s seems the unzip on a Mac doesn’t work with the native built in unzip tool. Whereas if you install a 3rd party one from the AppStore it does manage to unzip with password.

I did that with another library - SSZipArchive from pod. And it's working well for me. So I'm recommend it if any developer want to zip / unzip file by Swift. Thank you.

I have the same issue that I cannot unzip a password protected .zip file on OSX. I tried a few 3rd party unzipper apps from the App Store, but no dice :(. Which specific app is known to work? (I tried SSZipArchive, but it conflicts with some of my other pods who have some internal zip-support as well.) Thx!

Same issue here although out of 20 or so tests I was able to open 1 file with a password on mac os 10.13.6.

Same issue :( I tried 5 different unarchivers, none of them work... I have absolutely no idea about zipping, so I can't help here... but would be great if somebody who knowns could have a look... I mean aren't we most likely all developing iOS apps on our Macs?

I ran into this problem as well and ultimately used SSZipArchive. This library's API is a bit nicer, but I need password support.
