Using SBYZipArchive or other Zip Cocoa Pod in Swift not working - objective-c

Question

I have an OSX app that needs to be able to zip and unzip directories, and I figured it would be easy using a cocoapod. I've hit a brick wall.
I've installed Godzippa, Objective-Zip, zipzap, ZipKit, ZipArchive, SSZipArchive, and basically every other cocoapod that claims to provide "Zip" functionality, but I've failed to get any of them to work.
I'll share the steps to my failure, and perhaps someone will correct me where I've strayed the correct path:
1. Because I am working out of a Swift codebase, I created an Objective-C-Bridging Header, and set the corresponding attribute under Build Settings in the Swift Compiler Section.
2. I installed cocoapods in the application and included the desired cocoa pod in the Pod file, ran pod install, and restarted the application using the workspace.
3. Inside the bridging header, I imported the necessary objective-c headers of the corresponding cocoa-pod so I can use them in Swift. For example, for SBYZipArchive I had the following in my file I imported the < SBYZipArchive/SBYZipArchive.h> header.
4. I try to build the application and it fails on multiple places all referencing the zlib.h library.
5. I attempted to provide access to the zlib library by adding the libz.dylib to the Build Phases under Link Binary with Libraries.
6. I attempt to build the application, and it still doesn't love me.
To my knowledge the reason why none of these frameworks is working is because they are for some reason failing to access the zlib files that are necessary to do the actual data compression. Thats as far as I've figured out... Any help would be appreciated.
Update
I was able to do the zipping without using any of the above packages by simply setting up an NSTask. For those who may care more about zipping than they do using these tools here is how I did it:
var task = NSTask()
task.launchPath = "/usr/bin/zip"
task.arguments = ["-r", "/Users/$USERNAME/Documents/$PATHTODIR/zip1.zip", "/Users/$USERNAME/Documents/$PATHTODIR/filesToZip"]
task.launch()
When using NSTask you set the launch path to the tool you want to use, and then give the required arguments. so the above task is the equivalent to the command in UNIX:
zip -r /Users/$USERNAME/Documents/$PATHTODIR/zip1.zip /Users/$USERNAME/Documents/$PATHTODIR/filesToZip
Obviously swap out the variables I put in there for your own path
UPDATE
Although the UNIX zipper works perfect for the mac app, I am pretty sure I need one of the zip packages to be able to do this on iOS
