Bug 244833 – href tag not captured through cordova plugin with wkwebview in iOS 15

• Component: Plug-ins
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[krishan vir singh]

Hi Team 

In iOS 14 anchor tag was easily captured through coredova plugin in native iOS side . 

But In iOS 15 the event does not trigger through coredova plugin in native iOS side . 

How can we resolve this for coredova container app .

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

Please have Cordova(?) developers investigate this issue, and come up with an explanation of what's misbehaving in WebKit. We cannot investigate from such a high level description of the problem.

Hi Alexey Proskuryakov 

Ours is a cordova app but the issue is related to webkit because we use webkit within the app. 
So if we are using an href tag on html page it was working on iOS 14 . It was working as a link and redirecting to the destination page
But after iOS 15 update it stopped working . In our application we are using wkwebview.

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

Understood. I don't think that investigate based on such a high level description, unless it's an already know issue (possibly intentional behavior change). CC'ing some people who would know ab out such.

I am about to start looking into this. Is this still an issue?
I see there are 3 links in the demo app, are all 3 links not working?

[Chris Dumez]

I ran the attached demo app on iOS 17 beta (on iPhone device) and all 3 links open.
2 of them navigate inside the web view and the third one opens the Apple Maps app.

If you can still reproduce the issue on iOS 17 beta, please provide better reproduction steps.

Then Basically We implmented Rich text editor to add the data . and showing on text editor . In this scenario with our cordova app is not invoking the a herf tag . So It is not opening the link

Hi Team 

I observed one code decide navigation policy 

I am using this code to navigation on click of link from coredova app which is not executing the script 

WKUserScript *script = [[WKUserScript alloc] initWithSource:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"javascript:window.open('%@')", [requestedURL absoluteString]] injectionTime:WKUserScriptInjectionTimeAtDocumentStart forMainFrameOnly:YES];
                
                [webView.configuration.userContentController addUserScript:script];



and when i have this code it is working 


NSString *script = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"javascript:window.open('%@')", [requestedURL absoluteString]];
                [webView evaluateJavaScript:script completionHandler:nil];

So Could you please tell me what is causing the issue ?
