iOS error Failed to load resource: unsupported URL

[dpsa-dev]

Hi guys

Great plugin but since the change to WKWebview this plugin has stopped working for me. I've switched to v2.1.1 which is working fine on Android. I'm using Cordova with the following plugins
"cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine": "1.2.1", "cordova-plugin-wkwebview-file-xhr": "2.1.4" The following noted from the console indicates the file is downloaded/stored correctly but when fetching it it fails.

[Log] INFO: Download complete: file:///Users/shadow4768/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/3965C47C-7718-48C3-82ED-DF9A2CCB3989/data/Containers/Data/Application/3BFC0F90-F7D4-4DFA-8648-0F440929F835/Library/NoCloud/imgcache/5b1950b1ee383f3fdd0e51bf84dfdbd505006d79 (cordova.js, line 1540) [Log] INFO: Cached file size: 37161 (cordova.js, line 1540) [Log] INFO: current size: 2533404 (cordova.js, line 1540) [Log] INFO: com.apple.MobileBackup metadata set (cordova.js, line 1540) [Log] INFO: File getdocument?documentid=41623&width=300 loaded from cache (cordova.js, line 1540) [Error] Failed to load resource: unsupported URL cdvfile://localhost/library-nosync/imgcache/91c59e590d88a60c252d8281aa165be35a7d5798

Any ideas how I could get around this issue would be greatly appreciated.

I updated the following method for what it is worth and its working on my emulator, hopefully its fixed ..Im not sure why I have to change this other than cdvfile:/ path no longer supported in WKWebview

  Helpers.EntryGetURL = function (entry) {
    // toURL for html5, toURI for cordova 1.x
    //return (typeof entry.toURL === 'function' ? Helpers.EntryToURL(entry) : entry.toURI());

    if (device_platform.toLowerCase() == "ios") {
      if (window.indexedDB) {
        //NEW webview
            
        //console.log(JSON.stringify(entry));
        //{"isFile":true,"isDirectory":false,"name":"83bc7ed2261bb38faecc78e21929622437b65572","fullPath":"/imgcache/83bc7ed2261bb38faecc78e21929622437b65572","filesystem":"<FileSystem: library-nosync>","nativeURL":"file:///Users/shadow4768/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/3965C47C-7718-48C3-82ED-DF9A2CCB3989/data/Containers/Data/Application/CDD19007-1BE8-49B8-A591-E57D90202BD7/Library/NoCloud/imgcache/83bc7ed2261bb38faecc78e21929622437b65572"}

        var normalizedUrl = entry.nativeURL;
        return normalizedUrl;

        //console.log('[SystemService]', 'iOS', 'WKWebView');
      } else {
        return (typeof entry.toURL === 'function' ? Helpers.EntryToURL(entry) : entry.toURI()); //OLD webview use existing solution
        //console.log('[SystemService]', 'iOS', 'UIWebView');
      }
    } else {
      return (typeof entry.toURL === 'function' ? Helpers.EntryToURL(entry) : entry.toURI()); //Android webview use existing solution
    }
  }

Hi, I'm experiencing the same issue. I see that issues 247 and 248 are mentioned, however those both relate to ionic. The fix that is added in Helpers.EntryGetURL is also specific for ionic and does not do anything when you're using plain cordova.

The change that @dpsa-dev provided works for me. So the trick is to return entry.nativeURL from the Helpers.EntryGetURL in this specific case. Hope this helps in creating the right fix.

Hi there, bad news about the above fix is that it didnt work an actual device/only on emulators. A path related issue appeared and it seemed apparent that it was a iOS restriction on the specific path. I didn't find a fix for this so for me this is still not working on WKWebview. If you do find a solution please let me know.

@shadow476z , The solution above works for me (also on an actual device) when I load the images from the cacheUrl asynchronously with a XMLHTTPRequest. However, when I use the cacheUrl to load the images using <img src="{cachUrl}"> they will only work on the simulator.

Since most of my images are loaded asynchronously, I will stick to that for now, while awaiting a more general solution..

It didn't work for me. I'm getting : "Not allowed to load local resource: file:///var/mobile/Containers/Dat....". I'm using Cordova-ios 6.0.0. Have you faced this issue as well ?

Frends, you have solution by this question?
