Description
Hi,
it seems that the event "loadstop" on the iPhone is never raised.
The documentation says that "_self" is not supported on iOS, so the pages are opened into the external browser Safari.
Is this the reason why the events don't work?
Are the events usable on iOS?
If I run this code into a Ionic4 app:
`const browserRef = this.iab
.create(
paymentUrl,
'_self',
'toolbar=yes,fullscreen=no,hidden=no,location=no,clearsessioncache=yes,clearcache=yes,zoom=no'
);
// Event raised when the browser loads a page
browserRef.on('loadstop').subscribe(event => {
console.log('event:', event);
alert('url:' + event.url);
}`
The alert is never printed on iOS, on Android it works.
I'm using:
`iPhone 7
iOS 12.3.1`
The app is done with Ionic4:
`Ionic:

Contributor guide
Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the Ionic 4/Cordova InAppBrowser create('_self', ...) call and comparing the loadstop subscription on iOS and Android; done means determining whether loadstop is supported on iOS and fixing the event or documenting the limitation.
