Based on that error message, I recommend that you tell the inAppBrowser to open the page using the device browser, and do not open it inside your app's webview. I believe that means using this:

var target = "_system" ;

But double-check the documentation to be sure.

The method you're using now, which I believe is opening in the app webview, may not work at all with that web site or it may only work if you're using an Android 5.x or later device. That method might work if you are using the Crosswalk webview ("optimize for Crosswalk" option). I can't say for sure because I don't know what they are checking for and I haven't looked at the inAppBrowser docs recently to double-check.
