Description
I am using an auto-update api for an electron app. Grabs latest .zipped up .app from server, downloads and extracts it to overwrite the existing .app. It works fine on my osx, but when another user on a diff machine runs the update, the extraction fails with an error:
EROFS: read-only file system on .plist
It is not able to extract and overwrite the contents of the existing .app because .plist seems to be read-only for other users.
Any solution?

Research direction
Start by reproducing extraction of the zipped .app on the affected macOS machine and inspect the permissions of the existing .plist and app directory. Compare this with the working machine, then determine whether extract-zip can handle the failure; done means the cause and supported resolution are documented or covered by a regression test.
