>                 Key: CB-9205
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9205
>             Project: Apache Cordova
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Plugin Whitelist
>    Affects Versions: 3.8.0
>         Environment: OSX 10.10
> Cordova 3.8.0
> iOS 8.3
>            Reporter: Steve Hull

> according to [cordova docs|http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/4.0.0/guide_appdev_whitelist_index.md.html#external-application-whitelist], you should be able to specify in the config file which urls will open in an external browser by setting:
> {{<access origin="http://example.com/*" launch-external="yes" />}}
> However this does nothing.
> I've looked into the definition of {{shouldStartLoadWithRequest}}, and it does indeed have a line near the bottom that would load the url in the external system browser ({{[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url]}}), however it appears that it would be impossible for this line to be executed as long as the protocol is {{http}} or {{https}}.
> I'm not sure what the "correct" way is to address this, however it seems that old versions of the docs should be updated to reflect that {{launch-external}} does not do anything and maybe we could start paying attention to that config attribute going forward.
