feat: upload a blob from ios/android about capacitor-cloudinary HOT 3 CLOSED

Okay, got it. I can't modify the behavior of the Capacitor bridge but I can add a separate utils class, which can be directly used from every platform.

Unfortunately, a Blob cannot be transferred via the native bridge. That's why the official Filesystem plugin supports only the type string for data (see here). There is an capacitor-blob-writer plugin, but it has potential security risks (see here). I recommend to convert Blobs to base64 and to use the official Capacitor filesystem plugin if a file cannot be created directly on the native file system.

For this reason i am closing this issue.

Please let me know if you have any other ideas for implementation. Then we can open the issue again.

Hey @robingenz

I believe it can be helpful to not use the Swift integration at all in case a blob is passed. Meaning,whatever platform is used, if a blob is passed, the blob is uploaded via the web integration.

When passing a path, the file will be uploaded via swift/java.

There's no need to pass the blob to the native layer.

I do understand that it defeats the purpose of this plugin, but it's helpful because otherwise some apps will need to implement this plugin and implement their own uploading logic next to it just for when they need to save a blob from the WebView while using iOS/android.
