Cordova InAppBrowser doesnt work in iOS

I have a problem with testing our app on iOS on Android everything is working as expected, but i cant figure out why the iOS version isn't working.

I want the in appbrowser opens when openBrowser is triggered and the appbrowser closes when the closeBrowser is triggered. (this works in android, not in ios)

This are the above mentioned functions

openBrowser() {
    this.ref = cordova.InAppBrowser.open('someurl', '_blank','location=no')
}

closeBrowser(){
  this.ref.close();
}

So basically the problem that when the function openBrowser is triggered, it doesnt just open. When I press the iphone home button twice(that's how you can switch between apps that are already open) suddenly the inappbrowser opens. Same goes for the close function.

This is one of the weirdest thing I've seen so far..

Any clues on why that might happen?

Thanks in advance.
