> Not sure if this a Cordova bug, but I was recommended to report it here on PhoneGap forum.
> Navigation to external URL from my PhoneGap web app stopped working on iOS 11.3 Beta version on iPad. It is working fine on iOS 11.2.5 and on Android platform.
> It looks like the reason for this is that iOS 11.3 takes Safari 11.1 into use, which in turn has some security changes that might affect this navigation (see [Safari 11.1|https://forums.adobe.com/external-link.jspa?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdeveloper.apple.com%2Flibrary%2Fcontent%2Freleasenotes%2FGeneral%2FWhatsNewInSafari%2FArticles%2FSafari_11_1.html]).
> Note that the same problem initially existed on iOS 10 about a year ago, but then it has been fixed by adding _<allow-navigation href="*" />_ to *config.xml* of the app.
> Naturally my app still has this setting. The external navigation itself is happening when submitting a form with an external URL to the frame in the following manner:
> _..._
> _<script type="text/javascript">_
>      _..._
>      _document.getElementById("url").value = ...;_
>      _document.getElementById("form").submit();_
>      _..._
> _</script>_
> _..._
> _<form id="form" action="frame.html" method="GET">_
>       _<input id="url" type="hidden" name="url"/>_
>      _..._
> _</form>_
> _..._
> *frame.html*:
> _..._
> _<script type="text/javascript">_
>      _function loadPage() {_
>           __          _var url = new URL(window.location.href).searchParams.get("url");_
>           _..._
>           _document.getElementById("frame").src = url;_
>      _}_
>      _..._
> _</script>_
> _..._
> _<body onload="loadPage()">_
>      _<iframe id="frame" src="#" ></iframe>_
>      _..._
> _</body>_
