Ian Clelland commented on CB-6532:
----------------------------------
[~mikedidomizio], no it's not necessary for all platforms to use {{cdvfile}}
urls; in fact, because of issues like this, those URLs are mostly used by
Android and iOS for passing information about files between JavaScript and
native code.
It's used by FileEntry and DirectoryEntry objects, so that the system can keep
track of which part of the file system it is dealing with, and to provide some
sandboxing between apps, but when an app requests a URL, the File plugin
returns a native URL in just about every case now.
There are, I believe, other platforms which can't use these specific URLs, but
have their own custom schemes for different areas of the device, and so the
plugin is just designed to allow that, without forcing a specific URL scheme on
any particular platform.
> cdvfile file url is not working with link tag like css
