Is it possible to trigger a callback when the browser closes?

Hello! Thanks for maintaining this project, it's been very helpful to our team. But we're stuck on a minor issue: is it possible to trigger a callback when the user closes out of the browser? 🤔

You can handle the BrowserResult promise for the cancel event, for deeplinking and successful callbacks i have a separate deeplink handler in my code that dismisses it. This is how I have been handling the success and failure situations in my code. Both approaches lead to closing of the browser

  try {
    if (await InAppBrowser.isAvailable()) {
      const result = await InAppBrowser.open(url, {...});

      // when the users presses the cancel/close button 
      if (result.type === 'cancel') {
        onCancel(); 
      }

      // when you call the close() method
      if (result.type === 'dismiss') {
        onDismiss(); 
      }
    } else {
      Linking.openURL(url);
    }
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(error.message);
  }

how to close the browser after successful login in inapp-browser.

you need to redirect users to the app using deep linking
