🔒 Trouble reading specific Zip file

[crisp prairie]

So, here's what's going on, I am making a script which retrieves icons from APK files, and it reads most of them fine, but for one of them, despite having the same header as the other ones, zipfile.is_zipfile() returning true and other file managers being able to read it, python's zipfile.ZipFile library raises zipfile.BadZipFile: Bad magic number for file header when attempting to extract this file.

Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

It doesn't let me attach the file here, but I will gladly answer any questions.

But as per what this random website I found says, there appears to be nothing wrong with the file

What confuses me even more is that the pyaxmlparser library I use to analyze the APKs is fine with it, unless I use it to extract the icon, then it raises the same exception

Oh, wait, wrong zip, this one's the problematic one

There is no context that can allow some one to troubleshoot this error...

Please provide your code and the terminal output (including the full exception error).

!paste

quick and dirty solution if only one file is erroring is to do this one by hand

[crisp prairie]

This is supposed to be able to accept any valid APK, so that won't work here

[crisp prairie]

Ah, this should be all the code needed to reproduce the error, the biggest barrier in troubleshooting it is that I can't upload zip files here

from zipfile import ZipFile

with ZipFile('Android_Sudoku.apk', 'r') as archive:
    archive.extractall("./.tmp")
    archive.close

This isn't the exact code I used because I iterate through a directory in the actual script among many other functions, but this should produce the same result, if the APK file were present.

Everything except the icon reads fine so I'm thinking I'll use a try except when fetching the icon if this can't be fixed, it's not the most necessary thing

can you upload it somewhere else?

or where did you get it from? did you create it yourself?
