Jesse Monroy commented on CB-9205:
----------------------------------
[~shull] The item you describe was deprecated soon after it was created. The
documentation never kept pace. You should be on a more recent version;
something in the 5.x range.
For the feature you want, the new construct is: `<allow-intent (...) />` and
`<allow-navigate (...) />`. You can find up to date documentation in the
[whitelist
Guide|http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/5.4.0/guide/appdev/whitelist/index.html]
and
[cordova-whitelist-plugin|https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-whitelist]
> Whitelist "launch-external" setting does nothing

> Key: CB-9205
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9205
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Plugin Whitelist
> 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.
