Cannot load local image files

[lightwithoutheat]

I have an app that displays images stored on the local device file system, e.g.

function loadLocalFile(name) { return cordova.file.dataDirectory + name; }

This has all been working perfectly, until I installed the WkWebView plugin and now my images are no longer loading. Is there anything obvious that I've missed or that needs to be added after installing this plugin or is this a bug?

Possibly related, but my project with a LaunchScreen.xib that includes an Image control pointing to a local image file is now broken as well.

Same here. cordova.file.applicationStorageDirectory fails since installation of WKWebView

Just to hopefully allow people to work around this issue, we were able to use cordova-file-plugin to read files once we started using WKWebView. We had to use applicationStorageDirectory for iOS and externalApplicationStorageDirectory for Android (we are reading images taken from the camera). We read the file as base64 encoded data and were able to pass that string back to ng-src (AngularJs image src attribute) to display the image.

Thanks for the workaround suggestion. Much appreciated.

@dylanspurgin Yeah! the trick is using the image with Base 64 format. I had a similar issue with Camera plugin which my iOS application crashed trying to read an local image and this approach fixed the trouble.
