InAppBrowser not working on android

I've installed the plugin via "cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-inappbrowser" and had success on an iOS build opening up a website with window.open('https://google.com', '_self') as an init action on a controller.

Android just leaves a blank screen without any errors.

I've seen a couple of solutions suggesting adding a gap:plugin entry to the config.xml, but those have resulted in build errors. I think this may have to do with those other solutions being applicable to an earlier version of ionic.

The index.html file looks like this:

 <ion-pane>
  <ion-header-bar class="bar-stable" ng-controller="HeaderBarController">
    <h1 class="title">{{appTitle}}</h1>
  </ion-header-bar>
  <ion-content ng-controller="AppController" ng-init="openWebsite()" padding="true">
  </ion-content>
</ion-pane>

and the openWebsite() function looks like this:

$scope.openWebsite = function()
{
window.open('https://google.com','_self');
};

Am I missing something here?

EDIT: The blank screen happens just the same on the Android emulator and on an Android phone.
