Most of the solutions can be altered to avoid using Uint8Array.from.
For example, s.match(/../g).map(s => parseInt(s, 16)) simply makes an
array of numbers which could be used as in your own example:

  var data = new Uint8Array(s.match(/../g).map(s => parseInt(s, 16)));

I don't know Cordova, so you might also run into trouble with the "arrow
function" syntax.  In which case, you need the more wordy

  s.match(/../g).map(function (s) { return parseInt(s, 16); })
