bug: Issue encountered while creating an IPA file for a tweak (SCInsta)

[db5x007]

I’m facing an issue during the creation of an IPA file for my tweak SCInsta. The build pipeline runs smoothly up to the final step of generating the IPA file, but it fails with the following error:

Creating the IPA file...
[*] extracting ipa..
[!] not a zip/ipa file
[*] deleting temporary directory..
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

Issue Details: All dependencies are installed correctly using pip and ipsw. The compilation of various components and files for the tweak (including libsciFLEX, SCInsta, and their dependencies) completes without major errors, although I do receive warnings about obsolete linking options (ld: warning: -multiply_defined is obsolete). During the IPA creation stage, the script attempts to extract the generated IPA file but encounters an error saying that the file is neither a valid ZIP nor an IPA file. The script then deletes the temporary directory and exits with code 1. Additional Context: I suspect the issue occurs when trying to extract the IPA, as it seems the generated file is either in the wrong format or is corrupt. There might be an issue with how the IPA is being built or signed before the extraction step.

My Question: Are there any known reasons why an IPA file might not be generated correctly at this stage? What troubleshooting steps can I take to verify the validity of the IPA file before extraction? Any help to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Did you make sure that the ipa is placed inside the packages folder with the name "com.burbn.instagram"?

For anybody who has this problem, this is because the download link isn't good. Try using dropbox (Convert the end of the link to a "1" instead of a "0" to make it a direct download link)

Dropbox works ! Thanks
