Answer 1

What you need is this charmer in your MainViewController.m It works for me in cordova 1.7.0 cordova 1.9.0 and cordova 2.1.0

- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)theWebView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request         navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType
{
NSURL *url = [request URL];

// Intercept the external http requests and forward to Safari.app
// Otherwise forward to the PhoneGap WebView
if ([[url scheme] isEqualToString:@"http"] || [[url scheme] isEqualToString:@"https"]) {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];
return NO;
}
else {
return [ super webView:theWebView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:request navigationType:navigationType ];
}
    }
