Hey It looks like we're hit by this change in Android, which makes it so that we can no longer use file providers. There's an easy fix, but it's not a pretty one. We're going to have to add Android-Compat as a dependency for Cordova. This is really bad, and could cause a lot of things to screw up horribly when it comes to third party plugins that also use this as a dependency.
https://inthecheesefactory.com/blog/how-to-share-access-to-file-with-fileprovider-on-android-nougat/en A part of me is temped to think that the Android team did this on purpose to try and break Cordova, since content providers and content URIs aren't even remotely valid uses of the web and we've been dealing with broken content providers ever since we started. I personally hate this, but it's the only way we can move forward at all. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Joe
