   Actually I found it is a bug that more people are having this error code and it is a bug in cordova.. 
   
   right now I figured it out for iOS by doing the following:
   
   ```
     window.requestFileSystem(window.LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, async fs => {
             window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(this.file.documentsDirectory, async dirEntry => {
               let justTheNameOfTheFile = filePathWeWantToRead.split('://')[1];
   
               dirEntry.getFile(justTheNameOfTheFile, { create: false, exclusive: false }, fileEntry => {
                 console.log('fileEntry -> ' + fileEntry);
                 this.readFile(fileEntry, resolve, reject); //this is the function of the first post
               });
             }, (error) => {
               console.error('something went wrong with resolving the file, trying to resolve without FilesystemURL');
               console.error(error);
             });
           });
   ```
   
   Now this works in iOS when creating the file with Media.create in the `cordova.file.documentsDirectory` So that is solved.,. only android won't work yet.. On Android the same file is also created the same way but stored in `cordova.file.externalApplicationStorageDirectory`
