OpenAllWhitelistURLsInWebView setting still problematic
-------------------------------------------------------
Key: CB-94
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-94
Project: Apache Callback
Issue Type: Bug
Components: iOS
Reporter: Shazron Abdullah
Assignee: Shazron Abdullah
The good news: OpenThisWhitelistURLsInWebView works perfectly.
The not so good news: Once that boolean is set to yes, there is no way to force
a link to jump out and open in a browser. It's all or nothing. How, in the case
of an app requiring OpenAllWhitelistURLsInWebView = Yes for some pages, can you
also force a particular link to open outside of the in-app webview?
In practice, it would be nice (and fairly universally useful) to be able to
specify whether a link's behavior does or does not open in webview on an
individual basis. For example in the same app you have some embed or iframe
links that should be opened in the app's webview, and, other links on a FB or
twitter badge to jump out to follow or to "like" a page, or "if you like this
app, click here to jump to our website to find out more" types of links.
Maybe it is as simple as using target="_blank" inside an < a> tag to signify
jumping out of the app and opening in a browser?
or maybe this scheme as an expected behavior ...
If the OpenAllWhitelistURLsInWevView boolean is set to YES,
then,
any external links in the whitelist (ExternalHosts array) will open up in
WebView.
Inversely,
any external links NOT on the whitelist will open externally.
Thoughts?
