             Summary: InAppBrowser support for Safari View Controller on iOS9
                 Key: CB-9941
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9941
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Plugin InAppBrowser
         Environment: iOS9
            Reporter: Dagfinn Parnas


Apple introduced Safari View Controller in iOS9 in order to improve the interaction between apps that includes external web content. 

In Cordova, the interaction with external web content is handled through the InAppBrowser plugin. 

We've already experienced that Apple asks questions as part of the approval process related to support of Safari View Controller. Other cordova apps in the App Store will most likely experience the same. 

We hope support for Safari View Controller can be added to the InAppBrowser. There is a third-party plugin for it (https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/cordova-plugin-safariviewcontroller) , but we would argue that such an important feature ought to be part of a plugin maintained by the Apache Software Foundation. 

As a commercial entity we need to rely on mature and proven solutions that will be maintained in the future and are not dependent on any one individual.
