I want to make window.open in a web page work on ios

[nrikiji]

Plugin version 4.0.0 has changed to use WkWebview.

This caused the javascript code window.open in the webpage to not work.

Is there any way to work around this?

it's not related to using WKWebView, window.open was removed on purpose, see #600

You can still get the old behavior by doing this, but it's not recommended.

@jcesarmobile

Thank you.

This was talking about the window.open embedded in the webpage.

I believe that this needs to be addressed as shown on the page below. Is this behavior also intentional?

[jcesarmobile]

in that case, can you provide a sample app?

[nrikiji]

This is the case with the html I tried

<button onclick="window.open('myapp://')">open myapp</button>

[nrikiji]

Supplementary. I don't think this Html will work either.

I opened issue #830 which may be a duplicate of this one, @nrikiji could you check if we're referring to the same issue?
If so @jcesarmobile you can find a sample app here: https://github.com/acran/cordova-inappbrowser-mailto-bug-sample

closing in favor of #830 since looks the same and that one has a sample app
