On Rate, browser opens localhost/null

I’m not sure where I’m going wrong, I’ve used this plugin before without issue. Now with ionic 5 anytime a user clicks on the rate now button on the dialog, on android, the user ends up on a blank website with localhost/null in the address bar. On iOS the popped up dialog just spins then says could not connect.

Config: “@ionic/angular”: “^5.0.0”, “@ionic-native/app-rate”: “^5.29.0”, “cordova-plugin-apprate”: “1.7.1”,

I’ve tried all configurations as seen below to no avail:

this.appRate.preferences = {
          simpleMode: true,
          storeAppURL: {
            ios: '123234',
            android: 'market://details?id=com.example.myapp'
          }
        };
        this.appRate.promptForRating(true);

this.appRate.preferences = {
          openUrl: function(url) {
            window.open(url, '_blank', 'location=yes');
          },
          simpleMode: true,
          storeAppURL: {
            ios: '123234',
            android: 'market://details?id=com.x.myapp'
          }
        };
        this.appRate.promptForRating(true);

this.appRate.preferences = {
          ...this.appRate.preferences,
          simpleMode: true,
          storeAppURL: {
            ios: '123234',
            android: 'market://details?id=com.example.myapp'
          }
        };
        this.appRate.promptForRating(true);

i confirm the plugin works fine and its @ionic-native/app-rate issue use the AppRate object from window and it should work as expected

    // tslint:disable-next-line: no-string-literal
    const appRate: any = window['AppRate'];
    const preferences = appRate.getPreferences();
    preferences.simpleMode = true;
    preferences.storeAppURL = {
      ios: 'id123456789',
      android: 'market://details?id=com.example.app',
      windows: 'ms-windows-store://review/?ProductId=XXXXXXXX',
    };
    appRate.setPreferences(preferences);
    appRate.promptForRating(true);
