Description

Hi,

First of all I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but I have the following problem:

I try to open another app with the following code:

cordova.InAppBrowser.open('fb://', '_system');

This works on a iPad with iOS 8.4.1 but when I use the same code on my iPhone with iOS 9.3.1 nothing happens.

Am I doing something wrong or is this really a bug?

Thanks

Björn
