'Why the same zip file doesn't work in MacOS?
This is quite strange for me. I have an APP file (.app) which works on my MacOS. I want to upload it into the AWS S3 so I zip it as .app file is considered as a folder. When I download the zip file and unzip it, the app doesn't work anymore. I even tried zipping it in terminal
zip -yr myapp.zip myapp.app
And when I download it, I also tried unzipping it in terminal
unzip myapp.zip -d myapp-folder
But that was also doesn't work. I checked the app size and they are identical. Any idea why it happens? and how can I fix it?
Solution 1:[1]
zip/unzip don't preserve file attributes (including extended attributes). To fix this, use ditto tool instead of zip/unzip.
The same rule for just copying files: use ditto instead of cp
