Description

When I send an encoded base64 string image from iOS device with 'data:image/jpeg;base64,' at the beginning of data image on ft.upload(fileURL...) , plugin file transfer crash. However, on android works perfectly ONLY if line 'data:image/jpeg;base64,' is present.

Possible solution:
If I delete string data 'data:image/jpeg;base64,' for iOS devices and modify plugin file iOS 'CDVFileTransfer.m' like this:

• (void)fileDataForUploadCommand:(CDVInvokedUrlCommand*)command
  {
  NSString* source = (NSString*)[command argumentAtIndex:0];
  NSData *fileData = [[NSData alloc] initWithBase64EncodedString:source options:NSDataBase64DecodingIgnoreUnknownCharacters];
  [self uploadData:fileData command:command];
  }

works perfectly, but it wouldn't accept image path, only base64 string encoded images.

Thanks.
