Unzip Files in iOS

Question

I have a .zip folder which contains some images. I want it to unzip into Documents directory in iOS device. I tried with the following link,

download and unzip file in iOS-Stack Overflow Here is the code that I tried in my app,

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory,
                                                     NSUserDomainMask,
                                                     YES);

NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];

NSString *filepath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Obj.zip"];
ZipArchive *zipArchive = [[ZipArchive alloc] init];
[zipArchive UnzipOpenFile:filepath Password:@""];
[zipArchive UnzipFileTo:[documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Obj"] overWrite:YES];
[zipArchive UnzipCloseFile];

And then I printed the all files in Document Directory, but the Obj.zip is the only file(Obj.zip is the file that wants to unzip) that exist in the Documents Directory. How can I done this?

Thanks in Advance!

Use SSZipArchive. Here is a sample code. https://github.com/soffes/ssziparchive

Also I believe the unzipping would create a folder in documents directory which would contain the files. Please check that

NSString *zipPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:zipFileName ofType:@"zip"];
NSString *destinationPath = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0];
[SSZipArchive unzipFileAtPath:zipPath toDestination:destinationPath];

Update : Get zip file from documents directory

NSString *filename = @"MyZipFile.zip";
NSArray  *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString * zipPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:filename];

NSString *destinationPath = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0];
[SSZipArchive unzipFileAtPath:zipPath toDestination:destinationPath];

My file is not in main bundle. It's also in Documents directory — codebot, Jan 21 '15 at 08:20
