Research direction

Reproduce the issue on an iOS physical device or simulator using the listed Cordova, iOS platform, InAppBrowser, and Splashscreen versions. Compare the custom splashscreen entry in config.xml with the default splashscreen behavior, and consider the issue resolved when the InAppBrowser remains visible after the app returns from the background in both configurations.
