href inside paragraph does not work on web

[dsm5000]

when you have a link inside a paragraph it works fine in IOS and Android, but does not register a click on web. It woks fine when you put he link outside of a paragraph.

Since upgrading Flutter and to the latest version of this package I am actually finding that links inside paragraphs do not even work on my IOS app.

@thenexus00 That is very concerning. I'll take a look on iOS, and see what I can find. Would you be able to provide an example that is broken so that I can reproduce it as well?

@dsm5000 This may be part of issue #300, could you describe to me what is going on? Is it crashing, or is it just not registering clicks?

The click is not registered at all. What i have found is this:
<p>This will <a href='https://some.url'>Work</a> fine</a>
<p><a href='https://some.url'>this will not register a click in web</a></p>

I got it sorted. What I found was it was to do with the IOS target and the newer IOS changes. In particular it was the safari web and url launcher specifically.
After a lot of googling and updating flutter it was a matter of updating the POD file with some extra code. Despite having the minimum version set in Xcode it was not fully working. Clearing out pod files, and updating other packages as well fixed the issue. Was not one specific fix, it was several.

Seems there were several individual glitches wrt links not working, but all should be fixed, notably via #499 (not yet released, so use master if you must).
