[success] Android looking great! 👌
Platform(s)
- Android
Current Behavior
If you click on the button that should initialize the download, nothing happens. The android debugger does not show any errors.
Expected Behavior
The user should be prompted to save the file to the downloads folder. Exactly how you would download a file from a website in a browser.
Code Reproduction
import { db } from "$lib/database";
import FileSaver from "file-saver";
async function download() {
const data = JSON.stringify(await db.table.toArray());
var blob = new Blob([data], {type: "application/json;charset=utf-8"});
FileSaver.saveAs(blob, `app-user-data-${Date.now()}.json`);
}
Other Technical Details

node --version
output: v18.17.1
pod --version
output (iOS issues only):
Additional Context
What I basically want to achieve is that the user can export the data of the app to a json file so the user can back up data or use it for data analysis. I checked, it is not a problem of the libary FileSaver
I am using. The native js way with creating an a
element to download a text file is also not working.
