Filesystem.WriteFile doesn't save file correctly

See original GitHub issue

When saving a file, other than text, it does not display properly in the android file system.

Often when using FileReader.readAsDataURL to create a string from a Blob a header is also created. The android system does not recognize this seemingly or he is formatted wrong, I do not know …

Solution.

Removes the header before creating the file.

   //remove header
    const split = data.split(',')[1]; //data:image/jpeg;base64,AUIDUHIWad....
    data = split[1] || data;
