openURL does not work in Cordova

[ssuess]

openURL works fine in desktop browsers, but when built with Cordova will not open an external browser (at least on iOS). The link does nothing at all.

In case it helps anyone else, the solution was to create and then call the following method:

launch (url) {
      window.open(url, '_system')
    },

Does that actually open safari for you? openURL and the window.open above both seem to load the url into the app.

Here is what I had to do:

Install the Inappbrowser plugin:
http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/reference/cordova-plugin-inappbrowser/index.html

Use:
window.cordova.InAppBrowser.open(url, ‘_system’)

I also have that plugin installed yes. Once that is present, my method above works.
