# Bug Report
## Problem
I'm encountering an issue with the cordova-plugin-file plugin in iOS when
trying to download and save a PDF file from an API response. The plugin seems
to be working fine in Android, but I'm facing difficulties in iOS.
### What is expected to happen?
The PDF file should be successfully downloaded and saved to the device's
filesystem in iOS, similar to how it's functioning in Android.
### What does actually happen?
Code runs successfully and falls under the success block and even present
the toast of 'File downloaded successfully.' But file is not downloaded on
device.

? this.file.externalRootDirectory + 'Download/'
: this.file.documentsDirectory;
console.log(folderPath, 'FOLDERPATH');
// Convert base64 to Blob
const byteCharacters = atob(base64Data);
const byteNumbers = new Array(byteCharacters.length);
for (let i = 0; i < byteCharacters.length; i++) {
byteNumbers[i] = byteCharacters.charCodeAt(i);
}
const byteArray = new Uint8Array(byteNumbers);
const blob = new Blob([byteArray], { type: 'application/pdf' });
// Write the file
this.file
.writeFile(folderPath, fileName, blob, {
replace: true,
})
.then(() => {
this.presentToast('File downloaded successfully.');
console.log('File downloaded successfully.');
})
.catch((error) => {
this.presentToast('Error while downloading the file:');
console.error('Error while downloading the file:', error);
});
}
