Platform(s)

Android (tested on Emulator API 29)

Current Behavior

For Capacitor 2.x, the Browser plugin should trigger the browserFinished event as the in-app browser is dismissed. On Android it does not. Instead, the app needs to become inactive and then resumed again. Only then does the browserFinished event listeners get called.

Expected Behavior

iOS displays the expected behavior: browserFinished event listeners get called immediately.

This video expected behavior (iOS) vs. buggy behavior (Android).

I realize that development is focus on Capacitor v3, but it would be extremely appreciated if someone has an idea for a fix for this. 🙏
