Description

Links such as this no longer work on iOS and Android.
 
      <a
        href="tel:[phone]"
        target="_blank"
      >
        click me
      </a>
 
I opened up all my whitelist configurations to make sure that was not the issue.
 
<access origin="*"/>
<allow-intent href="*"/>
<allow-navigation href="*" />
 
I also tried all sorts of things with `window.open` with no luck.
 
I'm also using the apache wkwebview plugin which might be relevant. Spent a solid 2 hours trying to figure this out with no luck. Not even an error, it just silently fails...
