We are happy to announce that we have just released an update to cordova-plugin-inappbrowser!

Release Highlights

This major update makes the plugin compatible with cordova-ios 8.0.0, fixes layout issues with XCode 26 compiling for iOS 26, layout issues regarding not respecting the safe areas of the iPhone X and newer (iPhone 11, 12, etc.) and layout issues on Android when the footer is used.

Some other relvant changes:

  • Make zoom on-screen controls configurable on Android
  • Fixes issues ragarding the beforeload event on Android and iOS
  • Cookies or data were not properly cleared when the options cleardata, clearcache or clearsessioncache were set on Android and iOS
  • The callback context will only be changed for non-whitelisted urls (Android) or target _blank (Android/iOS)
  • Fix XCode deprecations warnings
  • In-app browser did not show when using cordova-ios 8.0.0

Please report any issues you find on GitHub!
