Steve Hull created CB-9205:
------------------------------
Summary: Whitelist "launch-external" setting does nothing
Key: CB-9205
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9205
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 3.8.0
Environment: OSX 10.10
Cordova 3.8.0
iOS 8.3
Reporter: Steve Hull
according to [cordova
docs|http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/4.0.0/guide_appdev_whitelist_index.md.html#external-application-whitelist],
you should be able to specify in the config file which urls will open in an
external browser by setting:
{{<access origin="http://example.com/*"; launch-external="yes" />}}
However this does nothing.
I've looked into the definition of {{shouldStartLoadWithRequest}}, and it does
indeed have a line near the bottom that would load the url in the external
system browser ({{[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url]}}), however
it appears that it would be impossible for this line to be executed as long as
the protocol is {{http}} or {{https}}.
I'm not sure what the "correct" way is to address this, however it seems that
old versions of the docs should be updated to reflect that {{launch-external}}
does not do anything and maybe we could start paying attention to that config
attribute going forward.
