PhoneGap for iPhone: problem loading external URL

by

I think I’ve found the solution,

in the PhoneGap Application Delegate .m file {YourProject}AppDelegate.m, modify the method:

- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)theWebView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType
{
return [super webView:theWebView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:request navigationType:navigationType];
}

with 

- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)theWebView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType
{
 NSURL *url = [request URL];
if ([[url scheme] isEqualToString:@"http"] || [[url scheme] isEqualToString:@"https"]) {
    return YES;
}
else {
return [ super webView:theWebView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:request navigationType:navigationType ];
}
}

This will open all the external links within the PhoneGap container!!!

ps. Around you will find references to this link but I think it doesn’t work for app written using the 0.9.5 version,since Safari gets opened for external links by default.
