Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.

If I downgrade the Cordova to 6.5.0 it works fine, Why is that so?

[lasarvit]

I'm still facing this issue. Is there any solution or work around for it?

[pixael]

Same here.

You either need to downgrade cordova, or create package.json #33 (comment)

I have used repo https://github.com/ihadeed/cordova-filechooser mentioned in https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-native/blob/master/src/%40ionic-native/plugins/file-chooser/index.ts

Can u guide me how to install it? I dont want to mess up with cordova version as i spent this whole day getting my app to build on my mobile :(

[luckylooke]

@ghanendrapiplani my fault, I mismatched projects, I was testing it on project with cordova v6.5.x and that was why it was working... now I have tested on project with cordova v7.x and I can comfirm the error. So I have created new fork and install have ran without error, but didnt test the app yet. Perhaps during this week. I will let know then.

@don
👎 No updates!? Looks like we need to find alternative for this.

[mihirp1730]

Fail to get the response with file choose, it shows the name of the chosen file but doesn't console and not get the file.

this.fileChooser.open().then(uri =>{
 console.log(uri);
});

guide me for getting it.

Install the plugin using ihadeed's repository instead:

cordova plugin add http://github.com/ihadeed/cordova-filechooser.git
