I am having the same issue, same version of cordova-plugin-inappbrowser, also works on iOS but not Android.

Hi I am having the same issue

same android version.

Works fine in iOS

[robsierra]

@admiralato we fixed the issue by creating a new InAppBrowserObject instead of using cordova.InAppBrowser.Open(), like so:

const browser = new InAppBrowserObject( 'https://yoururl.com/', '_blank', 'location=yes' ); browser.show();

[admiralato]

@robsierra thanks ! but i managed to get it working by doing

var ref = cordova.InAppBrowser.open(url, ‘_blank’, ‘location=yes’);

Passing an object as third param doesn’t work on Android, but works fine in iOS.

Hi, @coleweusthem could you please check package.json for cordova-plugin-inappbrowser if not added then please add https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-inappbrowser, after adding its working for me. Required packages to use @ionic-native/in-app-browser

• cordova-plugin-inappbrowser
• @ionic-native/core

I am using this package(in app browser) to add/connect stripe account for vendors/partner
