------------------------------------

I was forced to upgrade after Apple quit supporting iOS 6 so I have some te=
st results earlier than I wanted to.  My tests were in two categories becau=
se the behavior of files for the camera plugin is different than the media =
plugin which I use for sound files.  The camera api does not allow the user=
 to specify the file name of the photo taken.  The photo is taken and then =
the plugin passes back the file URI to the photo file.  This photo file goe=
s into temporary storage so my app moves it to a persistent folder.  In ver=
sion 1.0 I used fullPath to move the file.  However in version 1.0.1 I simp=
ly switched over to the "toNativeURL()" method and all is good.  I first tr=
ied "toURL()" but found the image tag in both iOS and Android did not recog=
nize that path with or without "cdv" in front.  Ultimately, I could find no=
 valid use cases for fullPath or toURL() in any of my tests (and I did many=
, many tests).  So, for the camera API the issue is resolved by toNativeURL=
().  However, the media plugin is different and I could find no valid use f=
or any of the fileEntry properties or methods including toNativeURL().  The=
 media plugin does allow the user to pass in a file name so with version 1.=
0 I was passing in a file URI to a persistent folder.   However that does n=
ot work anymore.  I tried all the variations including toFullPath, toURL() =
and toNativeURL() but it will not accept any of them.  In each case the med=
ia API silently fails and does not call the error callback.  If a bare file=
 name with no path in front is passed in the media API does not fail.  Howe=
ver, I am still working on what to do next since the app has to get to soun=
d file somehow to upload, it, save from being destroyed when the app is re-=
installed and remove the file when user is wanting it deleted.   I was in a=
lpha testing and now I am back to development.  Ultimately this has cost me=
 two full days and I'm not finished solving the problems. This upgrade has =
been very painful and at one point I thought I might not be able to save th=
e last four months of development. =20
