All official downloads for Gracenote Entourage SDK v2.4.1.4018 are invalid/incomplete ZIP files


All official downloads for the Gracenote Entourage SDK v2.4.1.4018 are invalid/incomplete ZIP files, and are unusable.

$ unzip -t gn-acr-android-2.4.1.4018.zip

Archive:  gn-acr-android-2.4.1.4018.zip
  End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not
  a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the
  latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
  the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip:  cannot find zipfile directory in one of gn-acr-android-2.4.1.4018.zip or
        gn-acr-android-2.4.1.4018.zip.zip, and cannot find gn-acr-android-2.4.1.4018.zip.ZIP, period.

This means all the downloads posted at the official download page (https://developer.gracenote.com/entourage) for Android, C/C++, iOS, and Windows Phone 8 are unusuable.

How may I access SDK's for "Android" and "C/C++" platforms?

(for the record: Windows RT, which I'm not interested in ATM, has an older release posted—2.3.1—which is a usable zip file.)

Note: I've already attempted to re-download the SDK's from completely different devices, over completely independent network connections: the resulting files are the same—invalid.


Solution

  • For anyone else who was trying to acquire the Entourage SDK within the last month:

    It took a while, but the files uploaded a month ago were finally confirmed by Gracenote as invalid. They have now uploaded new, working zip files. Just download the SDK again.

    @WYH Thanks Wai-Yu! I've re-downloaded the Android and C/C++ SDK's, and they both at least can be successfully unzipped now. I'll let you know if anything else comes up.
