It's a great plugin, been using for years! Thanks! But having trouble with custom sounds. Just get standard device notification sounds instead of my custom sounds.

Any help would be most appreciated!

                        hour: Number(reminders[n][2][0]),
                        minute: Number(reminders[n][2][1])
                    },
                    count: 1
                }
            }

I was having a similar problem on newer versions of android. I resolved it by switching to timkellypa's version #1891

I am trying to play sound on local notifications from my downloadable sound files in the readable and writable directory of my app's this.file.documentsDirectory or this.file.dataDirectory. This this.file.externalDataDirectory works fine in android. But this.file.documentsDirectory and this.file.dataDirectory are not working in ios. My code is,

var audioDirectory = this.platform.is("ios") ? this.file.documentsDirectory: this.file.externalDataDirectory;
    cordova.plugins.notification.local.schedule({
      id: 1,
      channel: "channel1",
      title: 'Notification 1',
      text: 'Notification 1',
      foreground: true,
      vibrate: true,
      sound: audioDirectory + "half/sound.mp3"
    })

The file path is correct and works fine with android and also I am playing it in ios with native audio with the same path.
