7z command not found on Mac about cordova-plugin-apkupdater

[jjacobs33589]

Thank you, I've done some testing too and was going to say the same thing. I did have other folders in there with different versions of my apk

If i move the apk to another directory. It works as it should

Fixed in version 1.2.1. Thanks for the feedback. There's no way I could have found this on my own.
If there's anything else, let me know. I'll close this issue. ❤️

There are several ways to install 7zip on MacOS.

I personally use Homebrew:

brew update
brew install p7zip

Alternatively with MacPorts:

sudo port install p7zip

I didn't think about that. I will add the info to the documentation.

Thank you that works.

However, when I run the following command
node create-manifest.js 1.0.0 1m /home/user/app.apk /home/user/update

I have an apk that is 6.3MB but the folder with the compressed files is 28MB. This is the manifest.json output of the above command.

It generated 27 zipped files that are each 1M

WTF, how?

I just tried again with this GMail APK.

node create-manifest.js 1.0.0 10m /home/user/gmail.apk /home/user/update

The file is compressed correctly from 59.9MB to 40MB.

{
    'version': '1.0.0',
    'chunks': [
        '37cd5fa99bc48bd25b3471c90022058a',

        '7c1be9c464fa2eca91087323329a903e'
    ],

    'size': 62785275,
    'sum': 'fb1d2f29a8d2c929e142e96fe2f9e1a7'
};

Which 7Zip version do you have?
Maybe you can send me the file, if that's possible. My email address is: [email protected].
Otherwise, I have no idea how this can be.

The script actually does nothing else but compress the file with 7zip:

7z a -v1m -mm=Deflate -mfb=258 -mpass=15 -r /home/user/update/update.zip /home/user/app.apk

OK, I found the mistake.

This also searched for the app.apk in subfolders. And you probably had some folders with other versions of this file.
I'll quickly write a bug fix 👍.
