Description

Starting November, all playstore apps must be submitted with target-version>=23.

When you do that, the following error occurs  when trying to open a PDF.

08-07 16:30:15.303 21228 21228 D InAppBrowser: InAppBrowser: Error loading url file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.app.example/cache/cache_documents/this_is_a_sample_file.pdf:*android.os.FileUriExposedException*: file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.app.example/cache/cache_documents/this_is_a_sample_file.pdf exposed beyond app through Intent.getData()

Works fine when target-version is <=23 or android version of the device is < 7.0
