# Bug Report
## Problem
I can't use `cordova-plugin-file` to access a recorded video on iOS.
### What is expected to happen?
I should be able to use the following code to access the recorded video file:
```
window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(path, entry => {
// I should be able to do something with the value in `entry`
}, err => {
// But I get an error with the status code of 5
});
```
### What does actually happen?
When trying to use the above code, the error callback is called with `err`
containing `{ code: 5 }`.
## Information
The above code works in Android, it's only iOS that I'm having an issue.
The `fullPath` value provided after successfully calling
`navigator.device.capture.captureVideo()` is something like the following:
`/private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/7EF20D5A-03FE-4EA1-877A-8260CBCCE049/tmp/61945023201__49A539F3-B9CF-4E9B-B8B9-E497668AD4E7.MOV`.
There is an open issue for `cordova-plugin-camera` that might be similar:
https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file/issues/346
I tried implementing the fix mentioned in the above issue, but even after
copying the file to another location and renaming it I still get the same
problem.
I've also tried adding `File://` to the start of `fullPath`, but it resulted
in the same issue.
It's worth mentioning that I've added the follow permissions to my
`config.xml`.
```
<edit-config target="NSCameraUsageDescription" file="*-Info.plist"
mode="merge">
<string>We need camera access to take photos and record videos for
theholla.co</string>
</edit-config>
<edit-config target="NSMicrophoneUsageDescription" file="*-Info.plist"
mode="merge">
<string>We need microphone access to record audio while you're making
videos for theholla.co</string>
</edit-config>
<edit-config target="NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription" file="*-Info.plist"
mode="merge">
<string>We need access to your gallery so you can access photos / videos
to upload to theholla.co</string>
</edit-config>
```
The following SOF (relates to React Native, but should still be appropriate)
comment advises that I don't need any additional permissions to read / write to
an iOS device. So I'm working on the assumption that the above is all that's
needed to read / write to the device.
