["Joe Bowser (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12407?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16193319#comment-16193319 ] 

Joe Bowser commented on CB-12407:
---------------------------------

We currently only support one InAppBrowser instance at a time.  Unlike the old accelerometer, which was designed to handle multiple accelerometers to watch, there is no code to handle multiple InAppBrowser instances loaded.

> If you have an instance of InAppBrowser, say, with target=_blank, and then you create a new instance with target=_system, your original InAppBrowser reference gets lost, and the events assigned to it stop working.
> {code:javascript}
>   let blankBrowser = new InAppBrowser('https://someurl.com', '_blank', 'location=no,zoom=no,hidden=no');
>   blankBrowser.on('loadstart').subscribe(
>     event => {
>       //some behavior
>     }
>   );
>   let systemBrowser = new InAppBrowser('https://anotherurl.com', '_system', 'location=no,zoom=no,hidden=no');
>   //bang! the events assigned to blankBrowser go away, and I cannot do anything with the reference
> {code}
