The default cordova webview parses the format `https://localhost/__cdvfile_files__/filename.jpg`. It seems like the ionic webview does something slightly different. Historically `toURL` was meant to produce DOM-usable URLs which broke once Cordova stopped using the `file://` protocol to host local app content and instead using schemes. Which is why toURL changed to produce `http(s)://` urls so they get passed through the native asset loader and are not blocked by CORs. If the `AndroidInsecureFileModeEnabled` preference is enabled, the file plugin assumes that the webview is still operating in the older file protocol mode and `toURL` should continue to return `file://` paths similar to v6 behaviour. But I don't know if the ionic webview responds to this preference or not. Alternatively you can continue to use `nativeURL` property which in most cases will be a `file://` path. On android it may also be a `content://` path depending on the source of the content. I don't consider this a bug with the file plugin. This will work as expected with the default webview that Cordova provides. It will be on the Ionic webview to parse/adapt the paths. Note that Cordova plugins can define custom path handlers which the file plugin does [here](https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file/blob/master/src/android/FileUtils.java#L1242), so if the ionic webview when they build their [WebViewAssetLoader](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/webkit/WebViewAssetLoader), they could include plugin path handlers so that the webview can fully support the file plugin. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
