Could not create path to save downloaded file - Ionic iOS

I am trying to release an application written in Ionic Cordova but I face a problem with one of the functionalities of the app. Especially, there is a button where you download a file which works perfect in the android version, but in iOS I get this error:

FileTransferError { body = "Could not create path to save downloaded file: The file \U201c\U201d couldn\U2019t be saved."; code = 1; "http_status" = 200; source = "https://player.vimeo.com/external/221750072.sd.mp4?s=4dd5a5319a2484a715c54f58ef5b0e53&profile_id=165&download=1"; target = "null.CHURCHOF%20SAINT%20JOHN.mp4"; } File Transfer Error: Could not create path to save downloaded file: The file “” couldn’t be saved.

How are you making the destination path? It seems that some propertie you are using is null, so you should modify it in order to get a valid destination path. For instance, I use for this purpose an structure like:

var destPath = (cordova.file.externalDataDirectory || cordova.file.dataDirectory) 
               + "path_to_destination"

And then the fileTransfer plugin:

var ft = new FileTransfer();
ft.download(url, destPath, success, error, true);
