Swift How to Unzip file from URL with Alamofire and SSZipArchive

Question

 func downLoad(fileName:String) {
        let urlString : String = "\(myurl)\(fileName)"
        var localPath: NSURL?
        let destination = DownloadRequest.suggestedDownloadDestination(for: .documentDirectory)

    Alamofire.download(urlString, method: .get, encoding: JSONEncoding.default, to: destination)
        .downloadProgress(queue: DispatchQueue.global(qos: .utility)) { progress in
            print("Progress: \(progress.fractionCompleted)")
        }
        .validate { request, response, temporaryURL, destinationURL in
            // Custom evaluation closure now includes file URLs (allows you to parse out error messages if necessary)
            return .success
        }
        .responseJSON { response in
            debugPrint(response)
            print(response.destinationURL?.path)
            print(response.destinationURL?.absoluteString)
            let unzipDirectory = self.unzipPath(fileURL:fileName)

            let success = SSZipArchive.unzipFile(atPath: (response.destinationURL?.path)!, toDestination: unzipDirectory!)
            print(success)
            if !success {
                return
            }


    }
}


func unzipPath(fileName:String) -> String? {
        let path = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.documentDirectory, .userDomainMask, true)[0] as String
        let url = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: path)
        let pathComponent = url.appendingPathComponent("test\(fileName)")
        do {
            try FileManager.default.createDirectory(at: pathComponent!, withIntermediateDirectories: true, attributes: nil)
        } catch {
            return nil
        }
        return pathComponent?.absoluteString
    }

i get right path in response.destinationURL

but success is false

i tried atPath : to response.destinationURL?.path and

response.destinationURL?.absoluteString

but failed too

What i am doing wrong

destinationURL?.path return this

Optional("/Users/MyUser/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/3FBAD207-E5AB-4FC1-8199-2269A1249D97/data/Containers/Data/Application/CB1C2EF5-3100-430B-B869-774C09B8EA7F/Documents/testFile.zip")


response.destinationURL?.absoluteString

return this

Optional("file:///Users/MyUser/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/3FBAD207-E5AB-4FC1-8199-2269A1249D97/data/Containers/Data/Application/CB1C2EF5-3100-430B-B869-774C09B8EA7F/Documents/testFile.zip")

i think this is correct URL

why failed unzip?

By looking at your code, the path you are using for the source is perfect.

For the destination path, try updating it to

func unzipPath(fileName:String) -> String? {
    let path = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.documentDirectory, .userDomainMask, true)[0] as NSString
    let pathWithComponent = path.appendingPathComponent("test\(fileName)")
    do {
        try FileManager.default.createDirectory(atPath: pathWithComponent, withIntermediateDirectories: true, attributes: nil)
    } catch {
        return nil
    }
    return pathWithComponent
}

Try and share the results.
