Shazron Abdullah commented on CB-5790:
--------------------------------------
Hmm - the implementation probably needs to be re-worked to use NSFileHandle to
workaround this limitation :/ Probably won't have to pass a NSData around but
the file handle, and based on size of the file either read it all as 1 chunk or
read chunk by chunk (dealloc as we go along/autoreleasepool) and write to the
stream
> iOS file-transfer plugin fails to upload large files (> 200MB)

> Key: CB-5790
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5790
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: iOS, Plugin File Transfer
> Affects Versions: 3.3.0
> Environment: iOS 7.0.4 on an non retina iPad mini and an iPad 3.
> Plugin v0.4.0
> Reporter: Nicolas Leclerc
>
> While trying to upload large video files (> 200MB) using the file-transfer
> plugin upload function, i get a FILE_NOT_FOUND_ERR error.
> Turns out the real error is as follows:
> {quote}
> Error opening file
> /var/mobile/Applications/1F3C6CCF-D37B-45C0-B6D2-839FA5F7C163/Documents/20140112214958-rally-vendome-aaa.session/vendome_aaa_mime_1.MOV:
> Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=256 "The operation couldn’t be
> completed. (Cocoa error 256.)" UserInfo=0x176ce440
> {NSFilePath=/var/mobile/Applications/1F3C6CCF-D37B-45C0-B6D2-839FA5F7C163/Documents/20140112214958-rally-vendome-aaa.session/vendome_aaa_mime_1.MOV,
> NSUnderlyingError=0x176cbac0 "The operation couldn’t be completed. *Cannot

> {quote}
> Smaller files work fine so it would seem that the whole content of the file
> is read into memory before uploading despite using the
> {{NSDataReadingMappedIfSafe}} option of NSData.
> I did find some reference to the fact that ios is indeed buffering the whole
> file into memory:
