Answer 1

No Need To Downgrade just write this code.

private win: any = window;
    this.win.Ionic.WebView.convertFileSrc(path);

Answer 2

I had the same issues and it turns out that The new ionic webview plugin is the cause for the problem.

The new plugin: cordova-plugin-ionic-webview @ 2.x seem unstable...

to get it working downgraded back to [email protected] and all should work

Steps:

1. uninstall webview

ionic cordova plugins rm cordova-plugin-ionic-webview

2. install old one:

ionic cordova plugins add [email protected]

3. clean cordova

cordova clean android
