I'm trying to build a packaged app with mozilla-apk-cli but when I try
it tells me I need to install unzip and zip from Info-zip. But the
Info-zip site is beyond dated and the .msi I ran from there doesn't
appear to have done anything. How am I expected to do this?
[Sorry for the delayed response. Your message just arrived in my Inbox!]
I see this too when attempting to build a packaged app with
mozilla-apk-cli on my Windows 7 x64 VM.
The Info-ZIP project's website is indeed dated, but its Wikipedia page
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Info-ZIP> says that it remains active, and
Mozilla ships its software in our MozillaBuild meta-installer
<https://wiki.mozilla.org/MozillaBuild>.
So one option would be to install and use MozillaBuild. But you should
also be able to install just zip/unzip. I didn't see an MSI, but I
downloaded and expanded these archives containing the latest 32-bit
Windows versions of zip and unzip:
* ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/win32/unz600xn.exe
* ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/win32/zip300xn.zip
Then I created the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Info-ZIP, put the
binaries into it, and added that directory to the path via Control Panel
> System and Security > System > Advanced system settings > Environment
Variables... > System variables > Path > Edit....
Afterward, I was able to use mozilla-apk-cli to generate an APK for a
packaged app:
C:\Users\myk>mozilla-apk-cli Z:\myk\Mozilla\gaia\dev_apps\template
template.apk
Building with https://controller-review.apk.firefox.com
APK file is available at template.apk
-myk
