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.
