You can zip your files using this

https://github.com/marmelroy/Zip library

here is sample code added 

do {
    let filePath = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "file", withExtension: "zip")!
    let documentsDirectory = FileManager.default.urls(for:.documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)[0]
    try Zip.unzipFile(filePath, destination: documentsDirectory, overwrite: true, password: "password", progress: { (progress) -> () in
        print(progress)
    }) // Unzip

    let zipFilePath = documentsFolder.appendingPathComponent("archive.zip")
    try Zip.zipFiles([filePath], zipFilePath: zipFilePath, password: "password", progress: { (progress) -> () in
        print(progress)
    }) //Zip

}
catch {
  print("Something went wrong")
}

And attach that zip to your mail composer

Hope it is helpful

  • The solution is fine if we are fetching the files from a folder right. but I have files in the project itself and an image too. How can it be compressed? Please help – Rakesh Jul 14 '18 at 06:16
  • @Rakesh You can easily do it. you just need to save the files in your document directory for temporary time and you done with zip you can remove from that location. – Prashant Tukadiya Jul 14 '18 at 06:18
  • It is better to use filesystem as it will reduce load on your memory so there is least chance to memory issues in future – Prashant Tukadiya Jul 14 '18 at 06:22
  • This pod is only swift 4. Does it work in swift 3? As mentioned in the document it works with swift 4 – Rakesh Jul 14 '18 at 06:44
  • @Rakesh I am not sure about it what version of xcode you are using ? – Prashant Tukadiya Jul 14 '18 at 06:48
