Initialization Options

external_links: false

Default: false Behavior: true causes all links clicked in the WebScreen to open in Safari (or Chrome).

detector_types: [:none, :phone, :link, :address, :event, :all]

Default: :none
Behavior: An array of any of the above values to specify what sort of detectors you'd like the webview to auto-link for you. You can read more about UIDataDetectors here.

If you want your users to have links open in the Google Chrome iOS app, simply add this to your Rakefile:

app.pods do
  pod 'OpenInChrome'
end

This will change the default behavior of your app to check and see if Chrome is installed and if so, open the link in Chrome. Otherwise, the links will open in Safari.
