Hi,
the following function doesn’t work on ionic 2.

function dataURItoBlob(dataURI, callback) {
// convert base64 to raw binary data held in a string
// doesn’t handle URLEncoded DataURIs - see SO answer #6850276 for code that does this
var byteString = atob(dataURI.split(’,’)[1]);

// separate out the mime component
var mimeString = dataURI.split(',')[0].split(':')[1].split(';')[0]

// write the bytes of the string to an ArrayBuffer
var ab = new ArrayBuffer(byteString.length);
var ia = new Uint8Array(ab);
for (var i = 0; i < byteString.length; i++) {
    ia[i] = byteString.charCodeAt(i);
}

// write the ArrayBuffer to a blob, and you're done
var bb = new BlobBuilder();
bb.append(ab);
return bb.getBlob(mimeString);

}

Multiple solution and not only one is working for ionic. This is real terrible. I hate the day i started using ionic.
This forum even do not help. Day are passed even the ionic team do not come to help.
Ioninc is waste of time.
