We are happy to announce that we have just released an update for cordova-plugin-file!
To upgrade:
cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-file
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-file@8.1.1
Release Highlights
For Android, we corrected an issue that prevented .toURL() to be used on content:// file entries. Now .toURL() will return a DOM-usable url on both file:// and content:// file entries.
This will be important for upcoming releases planned for the Camera plugin.
Note that the AndroidInsecureFileModeEnabled preference must be off. If AndroidInsecureFileModeEnabled preference is turned on, then .toURL() will return the underlying URL and modern Android devices will reject content:// file paths. If your project is still using AndroidInsecureFileModeEnabled it is time to strongly consider migrating to schemes by turning the AndroidInsecureFileModeEnabled preference off.
By default, the AndroidInsecureFileModeEnabled preference is disabled. If your project does not explicitly enable it, then no action is required.
For iOS, there are no changes.
Edit (2024-10-28): This patch introduces a regression on Android platforms when resolving .toURL() on some file:// URIs. Please use upgrade to cordova-plugin-file@8.1.2 instead.
