postmessage not available on iOS

[ang3lx]

Hello

I need to close cordova iab after login, and I would do this with post message from browser in app to hybrid app I've done with this code:

function dLogin() {
	var messageObj = {
		status: 200,
		error: false,
		message: "test",
		user: {
			id: 1,
			token: "ABCDEF"
		}
	};
	var stringifiedMessageObj = JSON.stringify(messageObj);   
	window['webkit'].messageHandlers['cordova_iab'].postMessage(stringifiedMessageObj);
}

Android build: all works fine iOS build: window['webkit'] is not defined. I've tried with:

• window.
• webkit.
• (window as any).webkit

what I'm wrong?

thanks in advance

This is why I hate ionic and anything related

cordova is probably dying.. I don't understand why those of capacitorjs who have their browserinapp plugin don't implement the postMessage functionality so as to avoid installing these godforsaken plugins

I recommend you follow up with us here: https://github.com/apache/cordova-discuss/issues

Unfortunately we are not in a position to promise any timelines as an essentially all-volunteer project.

Yeah I think it would be nice if Capacitor can adopt modernization of this kind of functionality.

Unfortunately capacitorjs plugin, at this moment, is very limited in functionality

I may be late for the game, but I ran into the same issue and it seems the problem is that cordova cannot access some APIs on domains that are not whitelisted. I was able to solve it by setting navigation target to _blank like so: cordova.InAppBrowser.open(url, '_blank') after doing so webkit becomes available and I was able to send messages back to the app.
