createFile/writeFile does not consistently execute the 'write' action resulting in files of size 0

Occasionally when calling the createFile API the write action does not get called. It was not very consistent though and it is very hard to reproduce. It seems as though the onload event was not firing on the fileReader in the write method resulting in the file never getting written and no callbacks being fired.

if (data instanceof File || (!isProxySupportBlobNatively && supportsBinary && data instanceof Blob)) {
   var fileReader=new FileReader();
   /* eslint-enable no-undef */
   fileReader.onload=function () {
   // Call this method again, with the arraybuffer as argument
      FileWriter.prototype.write.call(that, this.result, true/* isPendingBlobReadResult */);
   };
   ...
}

We found we would notice the issue more consistently when running the app in the Android emulator subsequent times in a row with the command:

$ cordova run android

We fixed this by requiring the FileReader module:

With this change we have not noticed the issue anymore.

I also believe this ionic-native issue is related to this:
