Can't load target="_blank" links on iOS

[aaronfg]

WKWebView doesn't respect loading new windows (hrefs with target="_blank") like UIWebview did. So if I try to send a user to a page that opens one of its links in a new window, I get the "please disable popup blocker" toast notification.

Stops me from using this package for oauth sites that pop a new window up for the sign in process.

Seems there's an easy workaround in the WKUIDelegate to just capture those events and load them in the current view. I got this code from this stack overflow answer:

- (WKWebView *)webView:(WKWebView *)webView createWebViewWithConfiguration:(WKWebViewConfiguration *)configuration forNavigationAction:(WKNavigationAction *)navigationAction windowFeatures:(WKWindowFeatures *)windowFeatures
{

  if (!navigationAction.targetFrame.isMainFrame) {

    [webView loadRequest:navigationAction.request];
  }

  return nil;
}

Not sure how much work that would be to add to the plugin, but if that could be done it would be great.

I do have same issue even on android. Its not opening _blank links there as well. Any suggestions. I am trying to open in javascript using following line.

window.open(myURL, "_blank");

Why was this issue closed? The problem still occurs only on iOS in version 0.3.9+1.
