Kerri Shotts commented on CB-12894:
-----------------------------------

What version of {{cordova-android}} and the file plugin are you using? Does anything show in the device log when this error occurs ({{adb logcat}})?

> We have an application that has a self updating feature, we do not host in the Google Play Store, however, we host it for our users. We have had success with previous versions of our application, but recently on newer devices running Android 6.0 or higher our users are running into an error when trying to open the downloaded .apk file that should provide our users with an updated version of the app prompted for installation. On Android 6.0 or lower everything is working perfectly fine with the following code. Lastly, we were able to debug this to the point where we can see the file is actually downloading fine, and only the call to open the file throws an exception. We were able to debug down into the cordova.js file and found that there was an exception occurring when the fileOpener2 plugin performs it's open() callback, but seems like this is related to Cordova and not anything to do with the fileOpener2, we have already discussed this with the developer.
