OSX El-Capitan ZIP produces unusable zip files
#1
So I revived an old project I had been working on this time last year, and I still have the original code and zip file on this macbook.

I've since then gone through several updates of Osx, now at El Capitan.

The command line I used to use was zip plugin.video.MyAddon-1.0.0.zip plugin.video.MyAddon -r

No problems in the past. I can even install my original zip file into Kodi 15.2

However, using that same command line, on the same directory as the original, results in "add-on does not have correct structure"

I read a post from some fella suggesting Keka, but it too does not work.

I've even unzipped the same plugin zip that I just installed, rezipped it, uninstalled the addon, and end up with invalid structure message.

Is there a preferred zip utility on OSx?

Or any additional command line options I could use?

Thanks!

problem is the osx stores some hidden directory in each folder and these end up in the .zip and everything thus breaks.

you have to exclude these. it's called something ala .macosx_store
