Ionic 2 - (window as any).resolveLocalFileSystemURL() throwing error

Issue

I have some typescript code that uses the camera:

this.camera.getPicture(this.optionsGetCamera).then((imageURI) => {
    if (this.platform.is('ios')) {
        this.crop.crop(imageURI, { quality: 100 }).then(newPath => {
            console.log(newPath);
            (window as any).resolveLocalFileSystemURL(newPath, function (fileEntry) {
                 this.readFile(fileEntry);
            });
        }).catch((error) => { ...

When I run the app, and use the camera function that gets used in this code, I get an error in the console (I am running on a device using the -lc parameter to view the log):

console.error: ERROR -> {"line":58535,"column":81,"sourceURL":"http://192.168.1.131:8100/build/main.js","__zone_symbol__currentTask":{"type":"microTask","state":"notScheduled","source":"Promise.then","zone":"angular","cancelFn":null,"runCount":0}}

line 58535 is this:

window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(newPath, function (fileEntry) {

This line is in the main.js file that gets created by ionic on build. I have been trying to understand "source":"Promise.then" as it seems like it might point to the problem (with a promise? or not using one?). Thanks.

Solution

use the File class from ionic native means The Typescript class don't use the javascript any type refer https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/file/

import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {File} from 'ionic-native';

...

File.listDir(cordova.file.applicationDirectory, 
'mySubFolder/mySubSubFolder').then(
  (files) => {
    // do something
  }
).catch(
  (err) => {
    // do something
  }
);
