    Thank you for providing this update!
    
    I have one question however. I am using Ionic v2.1.4 with iOS v4.0.1 (not sure that's relevant in this case) and I am seeing that the view controller used in the hide method here does not have any effect.
    
    This line:
    `[self.viewController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];`
    
    Does not appear to do anything. However, when I make the dismiss call like so:
    `[self.inAppBrowserViewController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];`
    
    The InAppBrowser is hidden as expected. Can anyone else confirm this?
    
    Thanks again!

> I have a need to hide the InAppBrowser UI without closing the session.  This is to handle a situation I have, where a RESTful interface uses authentication and will redirect users to a separate login page.
> The InAppBrowser is created with hidden=yes, so that it is created without a UI.
> When the user is authenticated, the JSON will be downloaded normally and the browser window will not be shown.
> When the user is not authorized, they will be redirected to an HTML page in order to authenticate.
> After authentication, the user is redirected back to the API URL, where the JSON will be displayed in the InAppBrowser.
> Having the ability to hide the browser window will keep the user from seeing the JSON and improve the user experience.
