By removing lines 107-110 from CDVFileTransfer.m I was able to compile:

    NSString* userAgent = [self.commandDelegate userAgent];
    if (userAgent) {
        [req setValue:userAgent forHTTPHeaderField:@"User-Agent"];
    }

Given the plugin is deprecated, is it worth creating a pull request? I’m not sure if anyone is able to merge the pull request if it was created.

I’ve forked this repository and made this change in if it’s of use to anyone:
