Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Start by reviewing the plugin's Java and Objective-C in-app-browser implementations and its JavaScript options API, then compare the linked share-button forks. Done means an optional share control can share the in-app-browser URL or content with other apps on the supported platforms.
