end

JS code:

    async saveFileToFilesystem(fileName, base64Data) {
      const timestamp = Date.now();
      try {
        const savedFile = await Filesystem.writeFile({
          path: timestamp + "_" + fileName,
          data: base64Data,
          directory: Directory.Documents,
        });
        return savedFile.uri;
      } catch (e) {
        alert("Unable to write file: " + e);
        return false;
      }
    },

    <string>App wants to access your documents folder</string>
    <key>NSDownloadsFolderUsageDescription</key>
    <string>App wants to access your downloads folder</string>

I also have PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy file just like described in the capacitorjs documentation.

And when trying to download a file on ios app I get this error:

Unable to write file: Error: "Filesystem" plugin is not implemented on ios

It works on Android.

It feels I have enabled everything there is to enable for file permissions, but it isn’t working.

Update Capacitor CLI to 6.0.0, your Capacitor versions should always match, at least on the major version.

Thank you very much this worked.
