   # Bug Report
   
   ## Problem
   Downloaded PDF files disappear after an app rebuild on iOS platform
   ### What is expected to happen?
   Downloaded files stay on the persistent storage permanently on iOS platforms
   
   
   ### What does actually happen?
   Downloaded files are not found after an app rebuild on iOS platform.
   
   
   ## Information
   <!-- Include all relevant information that might help understand and reproduce the problem -->
   I have downloaded PDF files from a website and then store the locations of the filenames on the local storage. Then I use FileOpener plugin to open PDF files. Whenever I rebuild the app, the file-opener cannot find any of the files on iOS platform -on Android, it is fine. I'm experiencing this issue for nearly 6 months or so. It used to work before perfectly. Please see the code snippet I use to download a pdf file.
   
   
   ### Command or Code
   <!-- What command or code is needed to reproduce the problem? -->
     private downloadPDF(pdf: IPdf, callback: (data) => void) {
   
       const fileTransfer: FileTransferObject = this.transfer.create();
   
       fileTransfer.download(pdf.Location, this.file.dataDirectory + pdf.Name).then((entry) => {
   
         if (this.platform.is('android')) {
           this.filePath.resolveNativePath(entry.toURL())
             .then(filePath => {
               callback(filePath);
             })
             .catch(err => console.log(JSON.stringify(err)));
         }
         else {
           callback(entry.toURL());
         }
   
       }, (error) => {
         // handle error
       });
     }
