Unable to build when app contains .gz file

[rosen-vladimirov]

In case the app contains .gz file, build for android fails on package-resources step:
-package-resources:
[aapt] Creating full resource package...
[aapt] Unable to add 'd:\Work\scratch\app1\platforms\android\assets\app\app\app.js.gz': file already in archive (try '-u'?)
[aapt] ERROR: unable to process assets while packaging 'd:\Work\scratch\app1\platforms\android\bin\app1.ap_'
[aapt] ERROR: packaging of 'd:\Work\scratch\app1\platforms\android\bin\app1.ap_' failed

BUILD FAILED
d:\Program Files\android_sdk\tools\ant\build.xml:932: The following error occurred while executing this line:
d:\Program Files\android_sdk\tools\ant\build.xml:950: null returned: 1

Steps to reproduce:

• Create project: tns create app1
• cd app1
• tns platform add android
• cd app/app/
• create gzip in this directory or copy one from somewhere
• tns build android

Note, the issue has high impact, when your app contains node_modules, some of them, like semver, contain .gz files

This issue is no longer relevant, it is related to ant, but from CLI 1.3.0, we are using Gradle for Android builds.
So I'm going to close this issue :)

I'm still getting this even with Gradle.

Hi @gausie
May I ask you for more information on this case, what is your CLI's version and which android runtime are you using? Can you give us steps to reproduce this case?

I'm getting "Zip add failed":

  Unable to add '/Users/****/src/******/*****/app/build/intermediates/assets/debug/native-config/asef439406aae92bbba6b.js.gz': Zip add failed (-2147483648)

This file was added to my assets folder. If I change the file to a .mp3 extension then it works, but I need the .gz file to be used in my app.

Its an aapt problem.
Maybe you can delete .gz files before building.
