[jira] [Resolved] (CB-8632) Plugin should use x-ms-webview and not
iframe on Windows 8.1+
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-8632?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Brandon Paddock resolved CB-8632.
---------------------------------
Resolution: Cannot Reproduce
Gah, apparently this has already been addressed and somehow I was looking in the wrong place (and the 0.5.2 version that VS 2015 CTP6 installed had didn't have this fix).
Resolving Not Repro. Nothing to see here.

>
> Key: CB-8632
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-8632
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Plugin InAppBrowser
> Affects Versions: 3.7.0
> Environment: Windows 8.1, Windows Phone 8.1
> Reporter: Brandon Paddock
>
> Currently, the InAppBrowser plug-in uses an iframe when running on Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1. This is severely limiting and causes things to fail which work fine on other platforms.
> A key example is trying to host my own site's content in the app. Our server specifies X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN in its HTTP response headers. This has no effect on normal WebView controls, which ignore this by design. However, the iframe that this plug-in uses respects it, giving this error:
> APPHOST9613: The app couldn’t navigate to https://<ourtestsite> because of this error: FORBIDFRAMING.
> Since Windows provides a native WebView control (which works inside WWAHost web apps and is accessible as the x-ms-webview HTML element type), the plug-in should be updated to use this when it's available.
> There are other advantages to doing this versus the X-Frame-Options issue I mentioned (which I can perhaps do an annoying UA-based workaround for I suppose), such as:
> 1) Separate UI thread/process/AppContainer (depending on OS version).
> 2) Behaviors and API surface more tuned to WebView (and in-app browser) scenarios.
> 3) Customizable user agent, etc.
