PhoneGap 2.3: InAppBrowser plugin not found

Question

I upgraded PhoneGap in my iOS app to version 2.3 which now ships with InAppBrowser feature build-in.

To trigger it, I call in JavaScript:

window.open(url, "_blank");

But that won't work (nothing happens in my app), instead I see in the logs:

CDVPlugin class CVDInAppBrowser (pluginName: InAppBrowser) does not exist. ERROR: Plugin 'InAppBrowser' not found, or is not a CDVPlugin.

Check your plugin mapping in config.xml.

-[CDVCommandQueue executePending] [Line 103] FAILED pluginJSON = ["InAppBrowser1976814969","InAppBrowser","open",["http://www.google.com","_blank",null]]

So I checked my config.xml which looks good (it's definately there):

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<cordova>
    ...
    <plugins>
        ...
        <plugin name="InAppBrowser" value="CVDInAppBrowser" />
    </plugins>
    <access origin="*" />
    <access origin="*.jquery.com" />
    <access origin="*mydomain.de" />
</cordova>

@JamesJ Nope, I created a whole new PhoneGap project and copied the www folder from my old project into the new one. Now it works.. — Timo Ernst
Thanks - I'll give it a try - having the same issue with the EmailComposerWithAttachment plugin. — James J

I think the problem here might be that you have "CVDInAppBrowser", but it should be "CDVInAppBrowser".
