Description

When I add a link to google play in my html page, for example:
<a href="market://details?id=com.rovio.angrybirds">Link to market</a>

If I click on the link, I am getting a popup named "Application Error" with the content:
"The protocol isn't supported. (market://details?id=com.rovio.angrybirds)"

I remember not having this issue on old versions of cordova (cordova 1.2, etc.)
