Description

In my application I am using window.history.back to navigate back to previous View

Declaration of back button

     <div class="back_icon"  id="verification_back_icon">
            <a href="#" data- rel="back"  data-transition="slide down">
           <img src="images/back_btn.png" width="23"/></a>
    </div>

Button action:

     $("#verification_back_icon").on("click", function(e)
     {
        if(checkDirtyVacation())
         {
             e.preventDefault();
             if(backbtnAlt== false)
            {
               backbtnAlt =true; 
               confirm("All data will be lost. Do you want to continue?",
               function(r){
                      if(r){
                         //onBackKeyDown();
                         clearVacationvalues();
                         window.history.back();//this is not working in iOS 9
                     }else{

                   }
                   backbtnAlt =false;
                });
             }   
          }
         else 
         {
            e.preventDefault();
            if($(".vaction_location").hasClass("chkSelect"))
           {    
                 $(".vaction_location").removeClass("chkSelect");
                $(".vaction_location").addClass("chkUnSelect");
           }


               window.history.back();
            }
         }); 

This worked perfectly till iOS 8.4. In iOS 9 this navigation is not working.

I am using Apache Cordova native platform version 3.8.0 .

If anyone facing the similar problem please suggest me.
