title: How to open external link in iOS?
body: <p>I am using Ionic 3 and I need to load my app from external link.
  I did it by adding my external link in <code>&lt;content src="example.com" /&gt;</code> of <code>config.xml</code> file. This is working properly. I need to open links which are in my app screens in browser. </p>
  
  <p>As an example, Imagine there is facebook link in one of my app screen(Like in the image below) and I want to open it in browser(Chrome, Safari..etc) when I click on the facebook link.</p>

  <p><strong>When I run my app on Android it is working as expected.
  But on iOS it is not working.</strong></p>
  
  <p>Below is my <strong>config.xml</strong> file</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?&gt;
  &lt;widget id="com.test.test" version="0.0.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0"&gt;
      &lt;name&gt;Test&lt;/name&gt;
      &lt;description&gt;An awesome Ionic/Cordova app.&lt;/description&gt;

  <p><strong>I am not using <code>cordova-plugin-inappbrowser</code> plugin and I need to find a solution without doing it using plugin like <code>cordova-plugin-inappbrowser</code> as I load my app inside an iframe from an external link.
  It is really appreciated if someone can help me in fixing this issue.</strong></p>
