Description

I am trying to zip an app directory and its name is "MovieSwift.app". So when I unzip it again, the directory is named "MovieSwift", which is a problem in my case, because the unzipping part is done by some external API that relies on the zipped directory having an .app extension.
Any way of fixing this?

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by zipping a directory named MovieSwift.app and unzipping the resulting archive. Inspect the archive creation and directory-name handling entry points; done means the extracted directory retains the .app extension.
