Ios – How to CREATE a password protected zip file in iOS

encryptioniosios7passwordszip

I'v gone through multiple libraries like SSZipArchive and ZipArchive for creating password protected zip files . But both these libraries does not have the option to create a password protected zip file. They only have the option to unzip a password protected file.

Are there any libraries/ API's that allows us to CREATE a zip file with password protection.

Unfortunately not. There is no support within the .Net Framework 4.5 for password protected zip files. In this case you have to switch to one of the well known 3rd party libraries.

If you work on linux then you can do it with the help of zip (command line utility in most linux distributions). Just include the following in you app.

spawn = require('child_process').spawn;
zip = spawn('zip',['-P', 'password' , 'archive.zip', 'complete path to archive file']);
zip .on('exit', function(code) {
...// Do something with zipfile archive.zip
...// which will be in same location as file/folder given
});

If you want to zip a folder just put another argument '-r', before the folder path instead of file path.

Remember this spawns separate thread, from main process, so it is non blocking. For more info on child_process look here http://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html
