Path to downloaded content is no longer valid after app update

[Menardi]

Expected Behaviour

The path returned in the completion handler (data.localPath) will always point to the downloaded data, across app updates.

Actual Behaviour

When the app is updated, it seems that iOS assigns the app a new UUID. Since the path returned in the completion handler is based on the UUID, it is no longer valid.

For now, my workaround has been to use cordova-plugin-file to determine the path dynamically (cordova.file.dataDirectory with the name of the zip's folder added).

Steps to Reproduce

• Create a new Cordova app with cordova-ios
• Create a zip file with an image in it
• Download this zip file using this plugin, and save data.localPath in the completion handler
• Use this saved path to display the image in app
• Bump the version of the app in config.xml (e.g. from 0.0.1 to 0.0.2), and re-run the app
• The image no longer displays, as the path is no longer valid
