"Invalid block type found"

[Unome5548]

I created a tar file using the tar -cf command like it says on the Light-Untar-for-iOS documentation. When I run:

NVHTarGzip.shared().unTarFileAtPath(path, toPath: destinationPath, completion: { (error:NSError!) -> Void in
println("Finished (error)")
})

I get an error back with Code = 1 "Invalid block type found". I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, any suggestions?

I defaulted back to the Light-Untar-for-iOS, and it worked. So not sure why this one wouldn't do it.

I tried to run unTarGzipFileAtPath on the file downloaded below and it gives "Invalid block type found" error too. Nothing was being output in the output path. I am not sure why.

Running the same code using another .tar.gz file that I found randomly works though and I can see the output..

Same for me, generated a tar.gz on my mac added to bundle and get an error when extracted:

2015-10-28 09:21:35.834 monexio[9061:3116037] Error untarring Error Domain=io.nvh.targzip.tar.error Code=1 "Invalid block type found" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Invalid block type found}

This error manifested for me with tar/gzip files generated on the Mac with embedded .DS_Store files in the folder structure.
The solution was to remove the .DS_Store files, or to add the following just after line 234 in NVHTarFile.m (just after case 'g':)...

 case ' ': // .DS_Store filea manifest with an empty string as their type.

Hope this helps.
