Question

OK I have app for iPad that reads magazines. All previous issues works fine. I manage to make new issue (before it was done by other guy that left the firm) and to run it in simulator and on device without problems.

Now I add row for new issue of magazine in database and compress all pictures and multimedia by ZIP tool and divide them by MacHacha (because Java class that uploads demand parts from MacHacha to upload one by one) and upload it on server. In App store I downloaded magazine and can see new issue. On server new row is good have all good parameters and the size is adequate to size on disk.

When new issue finnish download it shows me error. I tried same procedure from simulator and in OUTPUT in the moment it crashes shows me decompression error (0).

I supposed that problem is with putting parts together with MacHacha. Can anyone help or give me that catch that solves this problem.

if it will help I can upload new issue and provide link (it’s free) I it will be helpful for You guys and girls 🙂

link for application. In library there is few issues and the last one is new (Giugno 2011).

I will provide code for that method that gives me string for mistake:

- (void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection

{
// controllo se il receipt è corretto e faccio partire il download
if(min == 0 && [receivedData length]

NSString *file = [[self documentsDir:1] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"archivio.zip"];

if (max <= num && !cancelDownload) {
    self.progressBar.progress = (1.0f/num)*min;
    min = max+1;
    max += 5;

    // creo directory per l'elemento scaricato
    BOOL isDir = NO;

    if(![[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:file isDirectory:&isDir]) {
        NSError *error;
        //creo directory
        [[NSFileManager defaultManager] createDirectoryAtPath:[self documentsDir:1] withIntermediateDirectories:YES attributes:nil error:&error];
        //creo file vuoto
        [[NSFileManager defaultManager] createFileAtPath:file contents:nil attributes:nil];
    }

    NSFileHandle *handler = [NSFileHandle fileHandleForWritingAtPath:file];

    if(handler) {
        [handler seekToEndOfFile];
        [handler writeData:receivedData];
    }
    NSLog(@"Received %d bytes of data; min: %i max: %i",[receivedData length],min,max);
    [receivedData setLength:0];

    // questa è la seconda invocazione
    [self downloadArchivePart:@"verified"];
    [connection release];
    return;
}

NSFileManager *man = [[NSFileManager alloc] init];

//UInt32 result = 
NSNumber *size = [attrs objectForKey:NSFileSize];
//int length = [receivedData length];

[man release];

//1.038.090 è il numero di byte della parte più piccola dell'archivio
if([size intValue]  >= kMinPartSize) {
