I seem to be having trouble with the childbrowser plug-in as well, even in the simplest test.  I imported the plug-in to my project, and my test page is using the following code.  Testing on an iPad, and when I click the button below, nothing happens, period.  No errors, nothing.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi Brad,

 I just tested your sample code and seems that it is working as expected. Did you try to run your app on iPad using Ion? If you did then this is the problem - currently Ion does not support the plugins that are added to your project. We are already looking for ways to fix this.

If this is not the case and you've tried deploying the app on a provisioned device. Please write us back with a bit more info on the device - OS version, device type (with or without Retina Display), etc. 
You can also try and remove and redeploy your app.

I hope this will help you.

I was testing with iON.  I also have the iPad provisioned, so I'll give that a shot.

Thanks for trying it out.

I have the same issue where the ChildBrowser demo app (https://github.com/Icenium/sample-childbrowser) doesn't work when cloned from GitHub and run unaltered in the Graphite or Mist simulator.

This is the only post I could find to confirm that the ChildBrowser only works on provisioned "real" devices, and not in the Simulator or Ion. So I would suggest other people to start voting for this issue if you find it lacking: https://feedback.telerik.com/Project/87/Feedback/Details/1066-support-for-childbrowser-in-simulator-or-ion

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. The good news is that the next version of Icenium Ion will support the Child Browser plugin. 

All the best,
