Navigation issue on iOS 12

After installing cordova-plugin-ionic-webview plugin in a JQuery Mobile app, it works fine in iOS 13, however, in iOS 12 the navigation has stopped working. When I click on a navigation buttons, the page reloads without navigating to the intended page.

Navigation button script:
$("body").pagecontainer("change", "Products.html", { transition : "none" });

Running:
Cordova iOS (5.1.1)
cordova-plugin-ionic-webview (5.0.0) (same result with 4.1.4)

Start by reproducing the navigation button script with cordova-plugin-ionic-webview 5.0.0 and Cordova iOS 5.1.1 on iOS 12, then compare the result with iOS 13 and plugin version 4.1.4. Done means navigating to Products.html works on iOS 12 without reloading the current page.
