> so I discovered that in 8.1.3, cordova.file.documentsDirectory uses app://localhost/_app_file_/ instead of file:///. the file constants have not changed in 8.1.3 and re-testing this in a simple sample application confirms this with me.  in 8.1.3, the `FileEntry.toURL()` method was changed to respect the scheme, as it's suppose to produce a DOM-usable URL which it never did on iOS since cordova-ios@6 (due to limitations of WKWebView). So 8.1.3 fixes this by returning a `file://` if the webview is hosted on a `file://` path, or the app-scheme if the app is configured to use app schemes, so that URLs can be embedded into the HTML document. Prior to this, `FileEntry.toURL()` always returned a `file://` on iOS (inconsistent with Android implementation), so if you were using this with the file-transfer plugin then I don't think that is right. If a `file://` path is desired for native interactions, then the `entry.nativeURL` will always return a `file://` path on iOS. Android may return a `content://` path depending on the underlying source of the asset. Let me know if this information helps. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
