Regarding this feature it would be nice if the API was richer than only
emulating the iFrame target specific.

For example as a developer most likely I want to resize, change background
colour / transparency, animate the view, or even message back and forth or
send JSON to it. Not only loading some local source / cache source or even
a data url.

Otherwise I might as well use ChildBrowser or Wizard View Manager

[jira] [Commented] (CB-1506) Implement InAppBrowser feature

Posted by "Jesse MacFadyen (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1506?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13491111#comment-13491111 ] 

Jesse MacFadyen commented on CB-1506:
-------------------------------------

I have some open questions about the wiki defined 'spec'

1. window.open('http://random-url.com', '_self'); // loads in InAppBrowser 
- so even though the random-url is not whitelisted, it is permitted to load within the application, inside the InAppBrowser.  This is currently not trivial on iOS.

2. How can I open a whitelisted url in the native browser? ie. mobile safari
- there is no clear path to targeting ALL 3 possibilities or a)the app page, b) the InAppBrowser, c) the system browser ( for a whitelisted URL )
- it makes sense that you cannot open a file:// url in the system browser + you cannot open a non-whitelisted url in the app.
