Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior on iOS with target=_blank and usewkwebview=yes, using the reported Facebook-page example and environment. Then trace the plugin's iOS handling of links that resolve to installed apps; done when the page loads in the in-app browser instead of opening the device's app.
