No redirect (http status 302) with Android 9

Bug Report

InAppBrowser plugin does not redirect page

Problem

Using Ionic5 with Cordova InAppbrowser we try to load a redirect page that is rendered from the origin page (https://iese-prueba.blackboard.com) to a redirected page where user enters user and password.

Redirection works fine in Android 8 but not in Android9 onwards, Redirect also works in a Chrome view in mobile and desktop version.

What is expected to happen?

Redirect to the second page (as Android 8 does)

What does actually happen?

Page is fixed to the first page, and redirection does not happen. No console error. No Android error (traced from Android Studio)

Information

This is the code. it is almost 100% the example code from pluggin:

import { Component } from '@angular/core'; import { InAppBrowser } from '@ionic-native/in-app-browser/ngx';

@Component({ selector: 'app-home', templateUrl: 'home.page.html', styleUrls: ['home.page.scss'], }) export class HomePage {

constructor(private iab: InAppBrowser) {}

openBlank() { const browser = this.iab.create('https://iese-prueba.blackboard.com', '_blank'); }

}

Same thing in our project. Additionally to the mentioned versions in Android 6 the redirect works, while the same code does not work in any android 10 device. When inspecting the network process via chrome dev tools in the inappbrowser window in android 10 the last redirection target gets called but is cancelled without any further notice.

@m-alcu @heffthedev have you found a workaround for this?

Same issue here. Things work in cordova webview when using _self, but it messes up with the css. Redirect 302 is not working with android 11in inAppbrowser. Have you got any workaround @deefour @heffthedev @m-alcu ?

I'am also with the same issue over here. Does any one found a solution or workaround?

Same issue here - anyone ever figure out a workaround?

I added an error listener and inappbrowser is reporting an sslerror: 3 with message The certificate authority is not trusted. But Android Chrome and iOS work fine, so I'm skeptical that is a legitimate error message.

My situation might be niche, but I had a custom user certificate that had to be trusted which solved this problem for me: https://stackoverflow.com/a/56437579/1438339
