External Links in Cordova for iOS



When building Cordova apps for iOS you need to be prepared to deal with external links that you might want to open outside of the WebView control.

This often is a problem since there's no way to navigate back to your initial content. In this post I describe the problem and how to use a plug-in to work around what should be native behavior in any WebView control.
