[SUPPORT] Does not work on MacOS?

[sasanikolic90]

It seems like the app needs 7-Zip to work (7za x -aoa ... command), but that does not exist for MacOS, from what I can see. MacOS is mentioned a few times in the readme, but there are no clear instructions how to use it properly there. I also tried with the tar.gz file, but didn't get any output generated there.

Can we please update the documentation with some clearer instructions in regards to that?

I would be glad to add ZIP support for macOS, unfortunately I don't own or have access to a macOS system.
But maybe you could help me out?

• From what I already read, the standard Archiver app in macOS doesn't support AES encrypted ZIP files (such as the one from Huawei).
• I think an alternative tool on macOS for 7zip could be Keka.

If you could pass me a valid Terminal command for Keka to extract the following file from the Huawei ZIP, I will add support to unzip the file on macOS using Keka and add the installation instructions for it.

Sorry for the late response.

Based on https://nextleveltricks.net/open-password-protected-zip-mac, I think we can simply use this command: unzip -P password ZIP_FILE -d DESTINATION_FOLDER. Tested it locally with the encoded zip file from Huawei and worked for me.

Dear macOS users,

I prepared a test version with support to unzip encrypted Huawei ZIP files based on the information in the comments above.
Since I can not test it myself, I put the code in a separate development branch.

You can use the command with the --password argument to test, like below

Hitrava.py --zip HiZip.zip --password your_password_goes_here --json_export

If you tried it out, I would be happy to hear your feedback whether it works or not.
