Utility class for zipping and unzipping files on iOS and Mac

SSZipArchive

SSZipArchive is a simple utility class for zipping and unzipping files. Features:

• Unzipping zip files
• Unzipping password protected zip files
• Creating zip files
• Appending to zip files
• Zipping files
• Zipping NSData with a filename
• Works in ARC and non-ARC projects

Adding to your project

1. Add SSZipArchive.h, SSZipArchive.m, and minizip to your project.
2. Add the libz library to your target

You don't need to do anything regarding ARC. SSZipArchive will detect if you're not using ARC and add the required memory management code.

Usage

// Unzipping
NSString *zipPath = @"path_to_your_zip_file";
NSString *destinationPath = @"path_to_the_folder_where_you_want_it_unzipped";
[SSZipArchive unzipFileAtPath:zipPath toDestination:destinationPath];

// Zipping
NSString *zippedPath = @"path_where_you_want_the_file_created";
NSArray *inputPaths = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                       [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"photo1" ofType:@"jpg"],
                       [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"photo2" ofType:@"jpg"]
                       nil];
[SSZipArchive createZipFileAtPath:zippedPath withFilesAtPaths:inputPaths];
