   Apache does not release dev versions to NPM. 
`@nutshellapps/cordova-plugin-file-transfer` is not a package that Apache 
manages. It could have been published with or without modifications or at any 
stage of `2.0.0` development, which is still not complete.
   
   Apache does not advise using development versions of Apache software as they 
have not be voted on for release. But you can install development versions for 
testing/development purposes via git (Git client required).
   
   Example:
   ```
   cordova plugin add 
https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file-transfer.git#master
   ```
   
   If you already have the plugin installed, you'll have to `cordova plugin 
remove` it first before trying to add a new version.
   
   The current NPM release is a formally deprecated version of the file 
transfer which doesn't work with current platform releases and is why it's 
severely out-dated. Since then it has been voted on to revive the project due 
to issues with handling large files, but the revival is still a work in 
progress.
   
   Last time I tested the master development branch, it is **mostly** working, 
but there are tests that is failing in the CI and currently that is the main 
blocker for an actual 2.x release. Therefore you're mileage may vary. We'd be 
happy to see volunteers help resolve the failing tests.
   
   If interested in volunteering, reach out to our [Slack 
Community](https://join.slack.com/t/cordova/shared_invite/zt-z70vy6tx-7VNulesO0Qz0Od9QV4tc1Q)
 or our [Dev Mailing List](https://cordova.apache.org/contact/).
