General

Data source

• URL(prefix) - URL to redirect to. (E.g. http://www.mendix.com)
• URL Attribute - Attribute containing a URL value to redirect to. (E.g. http://www.mendix.com, you could also combine with the prefix value and add the value '/learn' to it)

Troubleshooting

URLRedirector may not work on iOS in Phonegap, due to security policies. This issue, and the fix, was reported here:

Add this to your config.xml:

<gap:plugin name="cordova-plugin-whitelist" source="npm" version="1.3.2" />
<allow-navigation href="https://someurl.mendixcloud.com/*" />

Make sure the HREF points to your deployment url
