In my app, I of course have a link to facebook and twitter. However what happens is that these links are opened within my app, and not loaded externally. This is fine for the mobile website version, but natively as an app this is not desirable. How do I go about loading external web resources exter…

Yeah some of the documentation I’ve found is contradictory. First of all: http://phonegap.com/2012/03/19/phonegap-cordova-and-what’s-in-a-name/ Secondly (Using the InAppBrowser plugin) I created this directive to handle my “open up in the browser and not in my app” links: .directive('browseTo', …

Have you also actually added the plugin to your project by doing cordova plugins add org.apache.cordova.inappbrowser from the command line?
