BTW, @klochko7 did you remove the old plugin version?

cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-file-transfer
cordova plugin add https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file-transfer.git#master

Hi @klochko7 use the dev version of the plugin instead: cordova plugin add https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file-transfer.git#master If you want to avoid the plugin at all and just use pure html5 functions, check my gist: https://gist.github.com/jfoclpf/07e52f6bdf9c967449c4bc06af44c94a

Hi @jfoclpf thank you for this HOT fix. I was facing the same issue but after removing my current plugin then install cordova plugin add https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file-transfer.git#master version fixed my issue on IOS.

@timbru31 It looks like they are using the npm released version.

The supplied printout of the cordova info command show cordova-plugin-file-transfer: 1.7.1.

If they were using the git’s main branch, it should show 2.0.0-dev I blieve.

I guess they can try the git repo version, since the npm release does not work with cordova-ios@6.x, as you pointed out.
