Cookies dont persist

[owenkealey]

Environment

Flutter version: 1.17
Plugin version: 3.3.0+3
Android version:
iOS version:
Xcode version: 11.5
Device information:

Description

Expected behavior:
Cookies to persist on app restart.

Current behavior:
Cookies don't persist.

I sign into GMail on an in app browser and I get logged in and stay logged in, but when I restart the app I am not signed into gmail on the browser. Why?

[pichillilorenzo]

I can't reproduce this behavior on iOS Simulator.
I'm using InAppBrowser, I open https://github.com/ and I log-in with my GitHub account.
If I close my InAppBrowser instance and re-open it, I'm already signed.
If I close the whole app and restart it, I'm also already signed.

If you are using incognito: true option, then it won't persist cookies.

Could you share your code/use case?

I also have other inappwebviews in the widget tree that have incognito:true switched on, could that be the reason?

[owenkealey]

Also zoomBy doesnt seem to work at all, my webview looks the same no matter how much or little i zoom it.

[owenkealey]

I have confirmed the cookie problem only happens when I have multiple other webviews in the app @pichillilorenzo

[owenkealey]

Which are instantiated before the google login one.

[pichillilorenzo]

I cannot reproduce your problem. On iOS Simulator, it is working fine!
I have 2 WebViews:

• one without incognito: true, so it will remember me
• one with incognito: true, so it won't save/persist my session

Here is my full code example:

import 'dart:async';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_inappwebview/flutter_inappwebview.dart';

Future main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  runApp(MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _MyAppState createState() => new _MyAppState();
}

class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
  InAppWebViewController _webViewController;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    super.dispose();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: const Text('InAppWebView Example'),
        ),
        body: Container(
            child: Column(children: <Widget>[
              Expanded(
                  child: InAppWebView(
                    initialUrl: "https://accounts.google.com/AccountChooser?service=mail&continue=https://mail.google.com/mail/",
                    initialHeaders: {},
                    initialOptions: InAppWebViewGroupOptions(
                      crossPlatform: InAppWebViewOptions(
                        debuggingEnabled: true,
                        userAgent: "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 11_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/604.1.38 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/11.0 Mobile/15A372 Safari/604.1",
                        javaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically: true,
                      ),
                    ),
                    onWebViewCreated: (InAppWebViewController controller) {
                      _webViewController = controller;
                    },
                    onLoadStart: (InAppWebViewController controller, String url) {

                    },
                    onLoadStop: (InAppWebViewController controller, String url) async {

                    },
                  )),
              Expanded(
                  child: InAppWebView(
                    initialUrl: "https://accounts.google.com/AccountChooser?service=mail&continue=https://mail.google.com/mail/",
                    initialHeaders: {},
                    initialOptions: InAppWebViewGroupOptions(
                      crossPlatform: InAppWebViewOptions(
                        debuggingEnabled: true,
                        userAgent: "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 11_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/604.1.38 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/11.0 Mobile/15A372 Safari/604.1",
                        javaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically: true,
                        incognito: true
                      ),
                    ),
                    onWebViewCreated: (InAppWebViewController controller) {
                      _webViewController = controller;
                    },
                    onLoadStart: (InAppWebViewController controller, String url) {

                    },
                    onLoadStop: (InAppWebViewController controller, String url) async {

                    },
                  ))
            ])),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Screenshot:

As you can see, in the first WebView, it remembers my account [email protected].
Instead, in the second one, it restarts every time from login page.

If I close the whole App and restart it, I see it as the screenshot every time.

[owenkealey]

Ah well then I have no idea what is causing it in my code, thanks anyway

[scottk]

I am also having this problem, it seems inconsistent. If I log into a google account, close the web view (not even the app) and reopen a webview I am no longer logged in. Incognito is set to false, and it just opens a browser and goes to mail.google.com so I'm not sure what I could be doing wrong here

[pichillilorenzo]

@scottk could you share the code you are using, please? Otherwise I cannot reproduce your error

[scottk]

Hi no problem. It is now only happening on iOS, Android seems fine.

return InAppWebViewOptions( incognito: false, cacheEnabled: true, transparentBackground: true, disableHorizontalScroll: true, disableVerticalScroll: true);

These are my common options

return InAppWebViewGroupOptions( crossPlatform: buildCrossPlatformOptions(), android: AndroidInAppWebViewOptions(thirdPartyCookiesEnabled: true), ios: IOSInAppWebViewOptions(sharedCookiesEnabled: true) );

this is for the specific devices. I tried setting sharedCookies to false and true and neither changes. If the browser is destroyed (close app and reopen) the session is lost, not sure what else to try

[HajerWael]

How u solve this please ? I have the same issue specially with cookies isSessiononly= true ,\ seems working fine on IOS simulator but not in real iphone device ?
