cordova inappbrowser and input file

Question

I have a iOS and Android application, and I load a external website inside my app (this external website is mine too). My problem is that this website has a file upload fea

Answer 1

@Verl's code is pretty good! However, it cannot be installed through his installation guide... So here is mine:

cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-inappbrowser-camera
cordova plugin add https://github.com/jverlee/cordova-plugin-inappbrowser-camera.git

By the way, if I follow his guide, I only gets: Error: Cannot read property 'variables' of undefined

Answer 2

There's an issue with both Android and iOS that prevents file uploads when clicking on a file input tag like this within the inappbrowser:

<input type="file">

There's a couple of fixes for both which I've consolidated into a single location to make it easy for anyone else facing this issue. You should be able to modify your config.xml file to use it by including this:

<plugin spec="https://github.com/jverlee/cordova-plugin-inappbrowser-camera.git" version="1.1.0" source="git" />

Instead of the default inappbrowser plugin.
