   I am seeing this too on iOS 12 and Android 8. Currently running in to it on iOS 12 during app testing. 
   
   Here is the code I am using to open and close InAppBrowser windows:
   `      
   let iab = cordova.InAppBrowser.open(url, '_blank', 'location=no,footer=yes');
   iab.addEventListener("exit", function () {
       iab.close();
   })
   `
   I am monitoring the windows from the Safari Develop menu and initially (after starting the app for a test run) the InAppBrowser windows are opening and closing/disappearing from the list as you would expect. And then for some reason they stop disappearing when closed and start accumulating like this:

   I know this is happening because the InAppBrowser window shows no content. It is just blank. I have to restart the app in order to fix things.
   
   Does anyone have any idea why this is happening or what can be done about it?

   Initially InAppBrowser windows seem to disappear when closed, and I have added
