Bug Report

When long press on the content to trigger the magnifying glass to show content (such as select input, etc.), the content shown is not the webpage from the inappbrowser, but rather the bottom index.html.

Problem

When long press on the content to trigger the magnifying glass to show content (such as select input, etc.), the content shown is not the webpage from the inappbrowser, but rather the bottom index.html.

What is expected to happen?

Showing the content rendered in the inappbrowser

What does actually happen?

Showing the content from the bottom index.html.

Information

My index.html has a static splashscreen, and the index.js triggers a cordova.InAppBrowser.open to open up the url I would use.

Version information

Checked with two versions of Cordova iOS (4.5.5 and 5.0.0) as well as two versions of inappbrowser (3.0.0 and 3.1.0-dev), the issue still exists.

I understand there're issues for this https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12875 and seems like it was marked resolve, but unfortunately I don't think that fix is for this issue, as 3.1.0-dev (current master branch) still have this issue.

Checklist

• I searched for existing GitHub issues
• I updated all Cordova tooling to most recent version
• I included all the necessary information above

Hi,
I've got the same problem on one of the app I use with InAppBrowser and I've made an hard-coded fix as follow in src/ios/CDVInAppBrowser.m :

I replaced [tmpWindow setWindowLevel:UIWindowLevelNormal];
by [tmpWindow setWindowLevel:UIWindowLevelNormal + 1];

in the function dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{

Not sure if this is a clean fix, that's why I didn't make any PR.

@yjajkiew that did the trick for me, thanks!

I've searched the git history why the view level was removed again: #336
