> We've run into a most interesting issue with the cordova-plugin-inappbrowser.
> Normally, opening a link externally works fine. For example, opening a link
> to our Facebook page in Chrome or the OS's native browser creates and
> switches to an instance of that browser, completely separate from the
> original app.
> Opening a special link such as the fb://page/pageID will open the official
> Facebook app, and it will be completely separate from the original app. So
> far, so good. All the behaviour is as expected and desired.
> The problems arise when we open a regular link
> (https://www.facebook.com/pageName) in a third party Facebook client -
> specifically the Friendly client for Facebook. The Friendly app will
> seemingly open and display the correct content. However, once this third
> party app is open, it is MERGED with the original app.
> To clarify: We have our Cordova app (which we'll call SomeApp) which has a
> button running this:
> {code:javascript}
> cordova.InAppBrowser.open('https://www.facebook.com/pageName', '_system',
> 'location=no');
> {code}
> You press the button, select the Friendly app, select 'Just Once', and the
> Friendly app displays the correct page. Now, if you press the Back button
> (physical or otherwise), the app doesn't switch back to SomeApp.
> Worse still, if you press the 'recent apps' button on your phone, SomeApp
> will be gone. What the recent apps screen will show is a tile where the name
> of the app is SomeApp, but the content is actually the Friendly app.
> If it's unclear, take a look at the attachment. That tile's logo and content
> is the Friendly app, and the name is our own app. It is not possible to go
> back to our app without first closing this broken setup.
