Ionic missing InAppBrowser plugin error When doing custom authentication

Question

I've created an Ionic app and I'm trying to use the Custom Authentication option eg. Ionic.Auth.login('custom', authOptions, data).then(success, failure); However, I get an error message in the failure saying "Missing InAppBrowser plugin". The plugin is installed and I've tried to uninstall and reinstall the plugin with no luck. When I use 'basic' the request goes through fine.

How do I fix this or get around it?

Plugins only work when running in native devices. You can't use them on browser with ionic serve.

You may want to start testing on a real android device or emulator.

Alternatively, there's a chrome plugin called Ripple that emulate an real devices with native-like features, allowing you to use some plugins on browser.
