correct file path in fileOpener2 Phonegap/cordova plugin for iOS

does anyone have an idea which is the correct path to a file in the fileOpener2 plugin for Phonegap/cordova apps ? especially in the iOS version I have tried this out:

cordova.plugins.fileOpener2.open(
    'examplePicture.jpg',
    'image/jpeg',
    {
        error : function(errorObj) {
            alert('Error status: ' + errorObj.status + ' - Error message: ' + errorObj.message);
        },
        success : function () {
            alert('file opened successfully');
        }
    }
);

if I create an <img src="examplePicture.jpg"> tag, the picture will be displayed correctly. Safari debugger tells me that the resource wasn't found and if I try to test that in the iOS simulator the app crashes with this error:

Is there also an alternative to this plugin which can open attachments (pictures, excel sheets, word docs) ?

EDIT: the fileOpener2 Object is also available in the app, so the plugin seems to be installed correctly

Try to change plugin's ios source (Plugins/FileOpener2.m) line

fileURL  = [NSURL URLWithString:path];

to

fileURL  = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];

For Cordova 3.4.0 (and above): If you have an entry from Filesystem instead of 'examplePicture.jpg' use entry.toNativeURL() for first parameter.
