Example:

from zipfile import ZipFile
with open('a.zipp', 'wb') as base:
    base.write(b'old\n')
    with ZipFile(base, 'a') as myzip:
        myzip.write('eggs.txt')

If the embedded zip portion of the file is extracted (first four bytes deleted), some fields will be incorrect in the resultant file - commenting out line 3 produces a file that can serve as a comparison.  These differences cause issues opening with some zip library implementations.

My best guess is that this is related to this line: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/zipfile.py#L1459

I'm not familiar with iOS development, but I'd hazard a guess that "some zip library implementations" means a (the official?) iOS zip library.

Yes, this may be a bug. After appending all offsets are absolute file positions. Here is a patch that presumably fixes this issue. Unfortunately I can't write tests for this issue. ZipFile is too lenient and all written tests are passes with unpatched code. Please test the patch manually.

Yes, sorry, and thank you for looking into this!  It may take me a few
days to be able to test it.

Thank you for looking into this!  I don't have my tablet to test with at
the moment, but testing locally with zipinfo there used to be a warning
about missing bytes and now there is none.  I will test with the tablet
in a week or two when I get it back.

I confirmed this fixes the issue loading zips on an iPad.

Unfortunately we should revert this change. It breaks other cases. See issue29094.
