Description

Using cordova-plugin-inappbrowser version 1.7.0

Getting many crash reports from Google play store with following stack trace:

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void org.apache.cordova.inappbrowser.InAppBrowserDialog.show()' on a null object reference
at org.apache.cordova.inappbrowser.InAppBrowser$2.run(InAppBrowser.java:257)

The issue appears on many versions of Android including 4.4, 5.1, 6.0, & 7.0.

You can try the app from the Google Play store: "cargurus"

I am unable to reproduce the error myself, but 25 users/day are reporting it.
