Error:

Failed to install platform: ArduCAM_ESP8266_UNO:ArduCAM_ESP8266_UNO.
Error: 13 INTERNAL: Cannot install platform: installing platform ArduCAM_ESP8266_UNO:ArduCAM_ESP8266_UNO@2.2.4: testing local archive integrity: testing archive size: fetched archive size differs from size specified in index: 22656170 != 22659072

Some notes for the project maintainer:

---

The incorrect value is defined by the packages[*].platforms[*].size of the package index:

http://www.arducam.com/downloads/ESP8266_UNO/package_ArduCAM_index.json

 "size":"22659072"

Documentation reference here:

https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/latest/package_index_json-specification/#platforms-definitions

---

Arduino IDE 1.x ignores the packages[*].platforms[*].size field of the package index if a packages[*].platforms[*].checksum field is present, so even though the size field value is incorrect, the archive still passes validation when installing the "ArduCAM_ESP8266_UNO" platform via the Arduino IDE 1.x Boards Manager.

Arduino IDE 2.x and Arduino CLI use both the checksum and size fields to verify the archive, so you must use one of those tools in order to reproduce the fault reported here.
