window.requestFileSystem(
    LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0,
    function onFileSystemSuccess(fileSystem) {
        fileSystem.root.getFile(
            "dummy.pdf", { create: true, exclusive: false },
                function gotFileEntry(fileEntry) {
                    var sPath = fileEntry.fullPath.replace("dummy.pdf", "");
                    var fileTransfer = new FileTransfer();
                    fileEntry.remove();

                    fileTransfer.download(
                            uri,
                            sPath + 'Agenda.ics',
                            function (theFile) {
                                console.log("download complete: " + theFile.toURI());
                                //showLink(theFile.toURI());
                                alertify.alert("Agenda file " + "Agenda.ics" + " downloaded to your root folder");
                            },
                            function (error) {
                                console.log("download error source " + error.source);
                                console.log("download error target " + error.target);
                                console.log("upload error code: " + error.code);
                            }
                    );
                },
            fail);
    },
    fail);}

The reason for this strange error is that i was manually updating the cordova-plugins.js file and manually adding the plugins js files, because they were n't added automatically. Why they weren't added automatically? because i was doing it wrong ..

The Answer is don't build then add the plugins, instead add the plugin then build then replace www files with yours.
