setTimeout is required to support the following scenario. On ios, android
and other platforms functionality creates InAppBrowser on native side, so ln2
happens before webview is created and events are triggered. As a quick fix on
Windows I made open method async so that it works (this is what docs recommend
to use so we should support this). Since I made open async I made async other
methods so that their functionality is triggered after open.
```
ln1: var ref = cordova.InAppBrowser.open()
ln2: ref.addEventListener('startload', function() {..})
ln3: ref.close()
```
PS. Thank you for the setImmediate tip - will update the code
