(Objective-C) Zip Append Files Verbose Logging

An application can check verbose LastErrorText if the zip.AppendFiles method does not append the expected files, or if it appends nothing.

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

BOOL success;
CkoZip *zip = [[CkoZip alloc] init];
[zip NewZip: @"qa_output/test1.zip"];

// Turn on verbose logging to get more informaiton in the LastErrorText property.
zip.VerboseLogging = YES;

BOOL recurse = YES;
zip.AppendFromDir = @"qa_data/syncTree";
success = [zip AppendFiles: @"*" recurse: recurse];

// Even if AppendFiles is successful, we can examine the LastErrorText property
// to see what happend.  (This is true for all Chilkat methods.  The LastErrorText always
// contains information even when the method call is successful.  If you have a difficult
// time understanding what happened, then turn on VerboseLogging and have a look at it.
// Make sure to turn off VerboseLogging for production because it could slow down your application.)
NSLog(@"%@",zip.LastErrorText);
