Please see attached snippet I am using for inappbrowser. I have used '_blank' with location and toolbar=yes the link opens in the inappbrowser, but there is no back button or done button. I have tried replacing '_blank' with '_self', but this doesn't make any difference. Since this wasn't working for me, I decided it's best to open the link in the system browser and replaced '_self' with '_system', but this does not work. The link does not open at all. All 3 run fine when i test it in the browser, but when simulating it on the iOS simulator or when testing on the iOS device, I face the above issues.
I have read a lot of posts on stack overflow and on the ionic forum and tried almost all solutions provided, but none have worked for me. It seems to be a bug in using ionic with iOS. Anyone have any other solutions?

Ionic 1, Xcode Version 8.3.2, iOS 9, cordova-plugin-inappbrowser spec="^1.7.1"
This fixed the problem for me. Add the following code is in your config.xml file if it isn't already present:
<allow-intent href="http://*/*" />
<allow-intent href="https://*/*" />
<allow-intent href="tel:*" />
<allow-intent href="sms:*" />
<allow-intent href="mailto:*" />
<allow-intent href="geo:*" />
Add the href depending on the hyperlink you are using in your project.
