Remote access to files inside a ZIP file for macOS, iOS and watchOS.

Getting started

  1. First you need to create an instance of URLSession. Then make a request for the contents via a direct URL to your ZIP file.
let urlSession = URLSession(configuration: .default)
let entries = try await urlSession.zipEntries(from: url)

[!NOTE] You can also add a URLSessionTaskDelegate or use a customised URLRequest.

  1. Download the data of an entry:
let data = try await urlSession.zipEntryData(entry, from: url)
  1. Use the data to initiate an image or other types.

Check out the Hubble demo app to view selected images from the archive taken by The Hubble Space Telescope.

Download with progress

To download with showing the progress, a ZIPProgress object must be specified:

let data = try await urlSession.zipEntryData(entry, from: url, progress: .init() { progressValue in
    Task { @MainActor in
        self.progress = progressValue
    }
})

Download folder

  1. Converting entries to a tree hierarchy with folders and enrties:
let entries = try await urlSession.zipEntries(from: url)
let rootFolder = entries.rootFolder()
  1. Recursively load folder and subfolder entries:
// folderData: [(entry: ZIPEntry, data: Data)]
let folderData = try await urlSession.zipFolderData(folder, from: url)
  1. The same, but with the overall progress:
// folderData: [(entry: ZIPEntry, data: Data)]
let folderData = try await urlSession.zipFolderData(folder, from: url, progress: .init() { progressValue in
    Task { @MainActor in
        self.progress = progressValue
    }
})
