      1. bower install
      2. Install the app in an Android and iOS device and check that filesystem is not broken. You can add an alert to $mmEmulatorManager#loadHTMLAPI to verify that the HTML API isn't being loaded in real devices.
      3. Start Chrome/Chromium with the flag --allow-file-access-from-files.
      4. Check that you can download files in browser. Open a downloaded resource (page, imscp, ...) and check that the URL used uses filesystem: protocol. You can also check that you can open it in offline.

      NOTE: For some reasons PDFs can't be seen using the browser PDF viewer. I manually downloaded them and I could open them by using a native viewer, maybe it's something related to the encoding.

      Description

      In MM1 we supported the Cordova FileAPI natively in the browser, we should implement a mock for the Cordova library to use the native browser FileAPI.

      This will allow us to speed-up the development of new features that uses the File API like the SCORM module
