Allowing Resource Sharing as an IAB launch option

[Hicklethumb]

Feature Request

Motivation Behind Feature

With the release of 5.0.0 one of the changes includes resource sharing between the main webview and the IAB again. There are some utilizations of the IAB where the lack of resource sharing is currently used as a security feature.

Feature Description

When an InAppBrowser gets launched, with versions preceding 5.0.0, resource sharing was not possible.

With the new 5.0.0 released, one of the features includes the ability to share resources between the main webview and the IAB.

This is problematic for applications where the application design relies on resources being segregated.

Having resource sharing as an option on IAB launch would solve this issue that is preventing applications from upgrading to 5.0.0 and would also cater for all use cases in the current and past versions.

Alternatives or Workarounds

The only current alternative is to not upgrade to 5.0.0

The isolation between the main WebView and IAB is its main use case for our implementation.

As far as I know the resource sharing was always part of the inappbrowser plugin and just was disabled accidentatlly by a change in cordova-ios.

SafariViewController is the Apple suggested modern alternative for viewing web pages in your app safely. There is a SafarViewController plugin for Cordova. Maybe this is the right solution for you.
