Windows opened by a webpage aren't able to close

[predatorx7]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

When a new window opens, webview redirects to that page. But when the window closes, it fails to close with following error in console:

• iOS: "Can't close the window since it was not opened by JavaScript"
• Android: "Scripts may close only the windows that were opened by them", "Failed to execute 'postMessage' on 'DOMWindow': The target origin provided ('https://www.udemy.com/') does not match the recipient window's origin ('https://accounts.google.com/')."

Expected Behavior

Window should close i.e webview should redirect back to the previous webpage window.

You should implement the onCreateWindow event to implement your logic to show a new popup window.
