Zipping files with javascript - corrupt archive

I'm trying to use JSZip to zip some text and then open it with 7Zip. The problem is, the archive is apparently corrupted at some point. I can't open it. I'm guessing it's not created correctly, possibly because I'm not using the correct encoding, but there could also be a slight chance that it's happening during transfer from my Android device (this is a Phonegap project) to my PC (I use adb to transfer the archive).

My code is:

var zip = new JSZip();
zip.add("hi.txt", "Hello World");
var content = zip.generate(true); // true == get raw byte string
writer.write(content);

Where writer is a Phonegap FileWriter object.

Any ideas?

Maybe the same problem I've documented here document generation only works the first time

In my case the document generation works fine when having the remote debugger attached. In addition I can reproduce only on Android 4.4 (kitkat)

It is currently impossible to write binary data with Phonegap's FileWriter, as stated here by a PhoneGap guy.
