InAppBrowser Close fires deviceReady event in iOS

[Brad]

I have a listview and each item has a data-tap="linkSelected" attribute and that linkSelected method fires a new InAppBrowser using var win = window.open(external_url, "_blank", 'location=yes&toolbar=yes&hidden=yes'); it opens just fine on both iOS and Android. However when I close the browser on Android, the app screen is exactly where I left off. In iOS when pressing the close button, the application completely reloads, refires the deviceReady event and moves back to the initial page. I would like iOS to close the browser window and maintain the same position in the listview where it was. 

I have done this before on other apps, but I cannot make it happen on this one using the same code and I have no idea what is causing this behavior. In my other app where this is working, the deviceReady event is never fired again so I don't think it's anything different about that block of code.

I was told while discussing another issue that this is a known bug in iOS with the livesync feature turned on. I will test without livesync and see if that fixes the problem.

Hi Bard and Zdravko,

I have the same problem. This only started occurring recently, probably as a result of Cordova 3.5.

You referenced another ticket but I can't find this.

Is this problem now resolved or is there a workaround? I've tried turning livesync feature off but it didn't solve the problem.

Regards,
Tony.

Hi Tony,

We have this issue logged and we are working on a fix. Due to its value for our users a speedy resolution should be expected.
As this behavior appears only in debug mode where our LiveSync feature is enabled you don't have to worry about your users' experience. Once built in Release mode or Published this functionality is disabled.
Build settings can be found by mouse right clicking over the solution node in Project navigator if needed.
