PhoneGap: Open external link in default browser (outside the app)

Question

I\'m trying to open links in Safari (on an iPhone) from a PhoneGap application. I\'m using PhoneGap version 3.1.0, and use PhoneGap Build, to build the application.

Answer 1

This worked perfectly for me on iOS.

As mentioned in the link above:

1- Install the plugin using the command:

cordova plugin add https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cordova-plugin-inappbrowser.git 

2- And in the HTML file, use one of the following as needed:

window.open(‘http://example.com’, ‘_system’);   Loads in the system browser 
window.open(‘http://example.com’, ‘_blank’);    Loads in the InAppBrowser
window.open(‘http://example.com’, ‘_blank’, ‘location=no’); Loads in the InAppBrowser with no location bar
window.open(‘http://example.com’, ‘_self’); Loads in the Cordova web view
