To create a zip file you can use ZipArchive Download the source code and add it to your project, add also libz.x.dylib (take a look at wiki).

Then in your header file add: #import "ZipArchive/ZipArchive.h"

To create a zip file is simple, just use the following code:

BOOL ret = [zip CreateZipFile2:l_zipfile];
// OR
BOOL ret = [zip CreateZipFile2:l_zipfile Password:@"your password"]; //
//if the Password is empty, will get the same effect as [zip CreateZipFile2:l_zipfile];
ret = [zip addFileToZip:l_photo newname:@"photo.jpg"];
      if( ![zip CloseZipFile2] )
      {
      // error handler here
      }
      [zip release];
