I don't know how ionic handles downloaded files, but if it's being addressed with file:// it probably won't work.

We have the same problem. We use Ionic in our app, and Ionic WebView (which uses a custom "protocol" to load local files, in our case we call it moodleappfs).

VideoJS is trying to load a 300MB file. In Android this works fine, but in iOS it doesn't, it performs several requests to the file but all of them return 0 bytes. Has anyone been able to fix this problem?

Here are some screenshots:

iOS is more picky than most about how media is delivered. It's not possible from javascript to modify that behaviour or the request. Not responding to range requests correctly is a common issue with regular http/s servers.
