Cordova InAppBrowser plugin broken for OSX platform

Question

When compiling a cordova macos app with the InAppBrowser plugin installed under Mojave 10.14.2 and Xcode 10.1 I get the following error message:

ERROR: Plugin 'InAppBrowser' not found, or is not a CDVPlugin. Check your plugin mapping in config.xml

I've checked the config.xml, and it contains the correct entry:

 <plugin name="cordova-plugin-inappbrowser" spec="^3.0.0" /> 

I've looked in /plugins and the plugin and its xml file are there.

I've removed and added the plugin and the platform.

Taking a cue from this old (and marked fixed) bug , I manually inserted the following into the config.xml file in Xcode:

    <feature name="InAppBrowser">
    <param name="osx-package" value="CDVDevice" />
</feature>

That changes the error message to this:

ERROR: Method 'open:' not defined in Plugin 'InAppBrowser'

Any ideas what's going on here?

Answer 1

<platform name="osx">  
    ... 
    <feature name="InAppBrowser">
        <param name="osx-package" value="CDVInAppBrowser" />
    </feature>
    ...
</platform>

This works for me.
