iOS: app will not open without cordova-plugin-file-transfer

Im using cordova for my iOS app, but wont open in my simulator. Is there a work around this, has this issue been updated?

There are a couple things to look at in order to track the issue down:

• If you're wanting to use the file transfer plugin and just get the build to complete successfully, check to see what version of the plugin you're using. From what I can tell on the github page for the plugin (https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file-transfer), the CI build has been broken for a while (see https://travis-ci.com/github/apache/cordova-plugin-file-transfer/builds). It's possible that you got a bad build at some point. It looks like 1.7.1 (the last release) built successfully, so you might want to try deleting again and re-adding the 1.7.1 version specifically:

  cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-file-transfer

  cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-file-transfer@1.7.1

• If you're wanting to take the file transfer plugin out of the app and get the app running that way, you probably need to launch the app and use Safari's developer tools to pull out the exception that's being thrown on startup. Alternately, you can do a find in files for references to the FileTransfer / FileUploadOptions / FileUploadResult and comment them out.
