Monotouch - ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib giving an error

Question

Hy guys,

I\'m trying to generate a Zip File with ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib library but it\'s throwing a really weird error.

Code:

public stati         


        

Answer 1

MonoTouch removes I18N codepages that it cannot statically determine that you need. You can force monotouch to keep the needed codepage collection (West) in this case one of two ways:

1. Click Project->[ProjectName] Options
2. Select iPhone Build
3. You have two options at this point a. Select "west" from the I18n assemblies list b. Add "-i18n=west" to "Extra Arguments"

NOTE: You will need to perform step #3 for every combination of configurations and platforms.

Answer 2

I know this is an old thread, but I just spent an afternoon trying to fix this with monodroid 4.6. On the previous version the trick was to manually add a reference to the I18N and I18N.WEST libraries, but now starting with version 4.6 it doesn't work anymore. :(

So I applied a fix to the ZipConstants.cs file of SharpZipLib:

From:

static int defaultCodePage = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.TextInfo.OEMCodePage;

To:

static int defaultCodePage = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.CodePage;
