iOS InAppBrowser user agent troubles
Has anyone else run into issues with the iOS InAppBrowser changing the Cordova webviews user agent.
If I run the following JavaScript in the InAppBrowser:
window.location.hash = "anchor";
The user agent of the Cordova web view changes from:
Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 6_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/536.26 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile/10B141 (176830592)
Into:
Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 6_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/536.26 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile/10B141
The new user agent messes up the whitelist so all requests can go through and if I navigate to a new page in the Cordova web view deviceready does not fire :(
I create an issue with a sample app here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4740
Thanks
Marcus

I've seen the same thing FWIW, it manifested itself only with a 'fresh'
app. That is, one that hasn't had the user agent string stored previously.

Well that's a new one. This was encountered some time ago as well:
