Cordova Windows Phone 8.1 upload file

Question

I'm writing an application for Windows Phone 8.1 and I have a problem. I configured Cordova and AngularJS for windows phone but it does not work upload files using html tag.

I have something like this in index.html:

<body ng-app="sample-app" ng-csp ng-controller="appController" ng-file-drop="filesDropped($files)">
    <h1>SAMPLE</h1>
    <small>{{model}}</small>
    <button ng-click="onClick()">scan</button>
    <br><br>
    <input type="file" multiple ng-file-select="filesDropped($files)">

The problem is that the button for upload doesn't work. In addiction this html tag works on IOs and Android.

Is there a sensible solution?

Thanks!

Windows Phone WebView does not support this feature. One option is to intercept the change event of the input, then call the cordova file picker as illustrated here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/15872242/1104494
