Ios return path

[maxborgatti]

I'm getting "Image Saved to Gallery" as res, only on iOS. On android works fine and gives me back the path.

Is it a bug or am i missing something? Here is my code (i get imageData from cameraPreview plugin):

this.base64ToGallery.base64ToGallery(imageData[0]).then((res) => { console.log('Saved image to gallery ', res) }, err => console.log('Error saving image to gallery ', err) );

@maxborgatti did you find any solution

[maxborgatti]

unfortunately not: i had to abandon this plugin

[asadwaheed1]

then how you save file and get its path back in ios

[maxborgatti]

i did use base64. but if you want you can use file plugin (http://ionicframework.com/docs/native/file/) to write down the base64

convert base64 to blob and then write down

[asadwaheed1]

Thanks but i am currently using this base64 to blob using file plugin but it is writing image with zero bytes blank. here's my code

`
/**

• Create a Image file according to its database64 content only.

• @param folderpath {String} The folder where the file will be created

• @param filename {String} The name of the file that will be created

• @param content {Base64 String} Important : The content can't contain the following string (data:image/png[or any other format];base64,). Only the base64 string is expected.
  */
  savebase64AsImageFile(folderpath, filename, content, contentType) {
  // Convert the base64 string in a Blob
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  var DataBlob = this.b64toBlob(content, contentType, 512);

  console.log("Starting to write the file :3");
  this.file.resolveDirectoryUrl(folderpath).then(dir => {
  console.log("Access to the directory granted succesfully");
  dir.getFile(filename, {create: true}, function (file) {
  console.log("File created succesfully.");
  file.createWriter(function (fileWriter) {
  console.log("Writing content to file");
  fileWriter.write(DataBlob);
  resolve(true)
  }, function () {
  alert('Unable to save file in path ' + folderpath);
  reject(false)
  });
  });
  });
  });
  }

/**

• Convert a base64 string in a Blob according to the data and contentType.
• @param b64Data {String} Pure base64 string without contentType
• @param contentType {String} the content type of the file i.e (image/jpeg - image/png - text/plain)
• @param sliceSize {Int} SliceSize to process the byteCharacters
• @see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16245767/creating-a-blob-from-a-base64-string-in-javascript
• @return Blob
  */
  b64toBlob(b64Data, contentType, sliceSize) {
  contentType = contentType || '';
  sliceSize = sliceSize || 512;

var byteCharacters = atob(b64Data);
var byteArrays = [];

for (var offset = 0; offset < byteCharacters.length; offset += sliceSize) {
  var slice = byteCharacters.slice(offset, offset + sliceSize);

  var byteNumbers = new Array(slice.length);
  for (var i = 0; i < slice.length; i++) {
    byteNumbers[i] = slice.charCodeAt(i);
  }

  var byteArray = new Uint8Array(byteNumbers);

  byteArrays.push(byteArray);
}

var blob = new Blob(byteArrays, {type: contentType});
return blob;

}

// If your base64 string contains "data:image/png;base64,"" at the beginning, keep reading.
var myBase64 = this.img;
// Split the base64 string in data and contentType
var block = myBase64.split(";");
// Get the content type
var dataType = block[0].split(":")[1];// In this case "image/png"
// get the real base64 content of the file
var realData = block[1].split(",")[1];// In this case "iVBORw0KGg...."

// The path where the file will be created
var folderpath = this.file.documentsDirectory;
// The name of your file, note that you need to know if is .png,.jpeg etc
var filename = "myimage.png";`

can you please tell me what am i doing wrong?

I hope this is not yet late for you guys, but I silently created a fork of this repo to fix this issue a long time ago. I did not create a pull request because it says that this repo is already discontinued. Here's the link to the commit where I made changes to the source for ios.
