Checklist
- I searched for existing GitHub issues

- I included all the necessary information above
It's working fine for me, can you provide a sample app?
I might have the same issue as @siranjeevimurugesan. And I have additional issue for iOS
Case Description
My application uses InAppBrowser to open app links to my app. One of the links is a YouTube link (for ex. https://youtu.be/2Vv-BfVoq4g
). Once the link clicked, it opens the InAppBrowser and opens the youtube video. On that page, we have this "Open App"(see image below) button displayed and that's where the issue occurs.
Here's a sample code of implementation
cordova.InAppBrowser.open('https://youtu.be/2Vv-BfVoq4g', '_blank', 'location=yes,hideurlbar=yes,fullscreen=yes');
Android and iOS has different behavior, please check the details below.
Android
Current Behavior
When clicked "Open App" button, it redirects to error page, similar to siranjeevimurugesan reported.(ex. error below)
Webpage not available The webpage at intent://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2Vv-BfVoq4g&feature=mweb_c3_open_app_11268432&itc_campaign=mweb_c3_open_app_11268432&redirect_app_store_ios=1&app=desktop#Intent;package=com.google.android.youtube;scheme=vnd.youtube;launchFlags=268435456;end could not be loaded because: net::ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME
Evidence
Expected Output
When clicked "Open App", it should redirect to YouTube app and its actual video.
iOS
- When clicked "Open App", it redirects to App Store YouTube app instead of the Actual YouTube App and on the actual video. It does not redirect to actual video on the YouTube App. Also, when clicking the "Open App" button, it takes 8-10 seconds before it redirects to the App Store YouTube App.
Evidence
Please don't mind the gray box at the screen as I have to hide some info
