Browser addListener not working

Hello I have problem I test Capacitor on my App and I want run browser and use addListner to observe change url.

I have this code:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { IonicPage, NavController, NavParams, ModalController } from 'ionic-angular';
import { Plugins } from '@capacitor/core';
const { Browser } = Plugins;

export class HomePage {
constructor(){

  Browser.addListener("browserFinished", (info: any) => {
    console.log(info.url);
  })
 
}
  async openWebpage(url: string) {
    await   Plugins.Browser.open({ url: 'http://capacitor.ionicframework.com/' });
}
}

When I pushed the button, Browser Start but addListener don’t give me event with console.log.

Please tell me what is wrong.

Ionic 4.10.3 but project is created on ionic 3 Cordova 8.1.2 (cordova-lib@8.1.1)

This is such a fundamental missing thing from Capacitor - for example when you need to take the user to a site to perform some action and then help them return to the app when completed. The inappbrowser in cordova was very widely used to support this. I understand why you keep closing the ticket because it is an inconvenience to incorporate a non-chrome based browser, but this is such a pain in the *ss for so many of us, for so long, it is really hindering the uptake of capacitor. A plea to the Ionicframework folks: make @ionic-enterprise/inappbrowser available to all!

@cgadam Good feedback, thank you!

I do know that for the Capacitor 3 docs, we removed the info parameter. I think we can definitely clean up that strange sentence about OAuth. I’m not sure what it means, either. 😄

You should be able to use cordova-plugin-inappbrowser in Capacitor apps. cordova-plugin-inappbrower and the Capacitor Browser plugin are fundamentally different implementations. We need a section in the docs about this for sure. I added this issue to do that: ionic-team/capacitor-plugins#1149

cordova-plugin-inappbrowser is not always a correct alternative. As in many case, we need camera and microphone permission in the in-app browser. Unfortunately, the WebView doesn’t support the required permissions and hence certain features can’t work.

It will be great to just support a urlChangeListener in the capacitor browser plugin.
