This is the part of the code snippet to get the local path of the app and loading the path in an iframe:

var appLocalUrl = cordova.file.dataDirectory + AppId + "/index.html";
iframe[0].contentWindow.location.replace(appLocalUrl);

The app is downloaded to local path but when we try to launch this in iframe ended up with error message:

not allowed to load local resource:{file:///var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/B8BF6DE2-228D-46B9-A84D-D2122D152385/Library/NoCloud/970/index.html}

Any help on this?

So I have already struggled a lot related to this. Latest iOS uses WKWebView. It appears to treat local files as if they came from a remote server, even though they're in the app itself, and such requests are blocked. Reference Source

The following solution worked for me:

  1. Add the Corodova file plugin.

    cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-file

  2. Change the local file path to this:

    cdvfile://localhost/bundle/www/you_folder_name/file_name.mp3
