Thanks for sharing this fix. Would be great to get this merged; without it this plugin is broken on Android 11.

As November 2021 deadline is approaching, any possibility to get this merged soon? Thank you very much!

Is there any ETA to merge this PR and publish a new version? with the Android 12 coming out a 4th October, this will be a needed fix for any smartphone that uses Google Chrome as default browser.

@EddyVerbruggen could you please have a look on this PR and merge it? Thanks.

I have merged this pull request into my forked repository: slissner#1

Herewith I can confirm that the changes have worked with a real Pixel 5 Android 12 device.

Update: tried with simulator Pixel 5 Android 11 (API v30) device: It did not work.

For those who try to test this pull request in a android simulator device: Make sure you have at least one browser (e.g. chrome) installed on your virtual device that supports the custom tabs functionality.

Background:

As mentioned in my previous comment, the custom tabs did not work on my simulator device. The problem was that by default no browser at all was installed on that device. After installing chromium, it worked well.

Where is Custom Tabs available?

Custom Tabs is a feature supported by browsers on the Android platform. It was originally introduced by Chrome, on version 45. Currently, the protocol is supported by most Android
