Hello,
I have a problem with childbrowser and iOS.
I am developing a hybrid app and everything works ok on Android.
I have a button that goes to facebook to get the user to login/authorize a (facebook) app to post on his behalf. The redirect url is a web page on a server i use. On Android, the user clicks the button, a childbrowser opens with the url:
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth...

When the user clicks the button from an iOS device (i tried on iOS 7 ipad and iOS 6 iphone), a childbrowser opens, but the page is blank and nothing happens.
The command i use on page click is
window.plugins.childBrowser.showWebPage(URL, { showLocationBar: true,showAddress :true, });

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Nick,

We'll test this. I'll update.

Btw i just tested another time with different url.
i have a "post on twitter" button and on click i run the following javascript

window.plugins.childBrowser.showWebPage('https://twitter.com/share?text=SOMETE...', { showLocationBar: true,showAddress :true, });

Same deal. Works on Android but on iOS i get a white page with "loading..." on the status bar.

Thanks!

Hi Nick,

There is a typo in your code. Try the following:
prewindow.plugins.childBrowser.showWebPage(URL, { showLocationBar: true,showAddress :true}); /pre
Does it work for you?

Do you mean the comma "after showAddress: true" ?
I removed it already and nothing changed. It works on Android but not iOS

HI Nick,

Sorry, it will take some additional time to test it.

Hey Katya,
Thanks for all your trouble but it seems the string i am passing to twitter and state parameter on facebook needs to be url encoded.
When i used

window.plugins.childBrowser.showWebPage('https://twitter.com/share?text=encode...', { showLocationBar: true,showAddress :true });

Everything works fine.

So thanks again for your time and please mark this as solved!
