Compatibility with Apple install daemon

[DebianArch64]

Hello, I'm an iOS developer and I've loved this project so far. Something has changed since last I used Zip.JS that made this no longer work for my use case could have been something that got introduced in iOS 16 because testers on older versions have it working fine. I think it could be related to zip.js generating fat archives instead of 'unx' archives, but I'm not very familiar with this specific area:

Example with output of Zip.JS archive:
+[IXAppInstallCoordinator(IXSimpleInstaller) _beginInstallForURL:forPersonaUniqueString:consumeSource:options:progressBlock:completionWithIdentity:]_block_invoke: Failed to extract /private/var/mobile/Media/PublicStaging/org.coolstar.taurine to /var/tmp/temp.TQxqPP : Error Domain=MIInstallerErrorDomain Code=5 "Could not extract archive" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Could not extract archive, LegacyErrorString=PackageExtractionFailed, FunctionName=+[MIBOMWrapper extractZipArchiveAtURL:toURL:withError:extractionProgressBlock:], SourceFileLine=223, NSUnderlyingError=0xe76a051c0 {Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=2 "No such file or directory"}}

This might be related to extended timestamp extra fields that zip.js includes by default since recent versions, they can be disabled by setting extendedTimestamp to false. This could be also due to data descriptors, they can be disabled by setting dataDescriptor to false. You can set these options when instantiating ZipWriter instances or when calling ZipWriter#add().

Yes this is it, absolutely phenomenal I didn't expect a response so soon. Thank you
