Receiving Cookies in WebView

[r-wittmann]

I was wondering, if it is possible to get data from cookies, set in the web view, to the flutter application. My use case is a custom auth mechanism which works by authentication with google on server side and sending a cookie with the client credentials in a cookie to the frontend (in this case my flutter app). Is this possible with this plugin?

I saw both #7 and #8 and am not sure about this approach because of the cookie instead of a redirect url and query parameters.

Not possible for now, but it is possible to get cookies from webView on Android so we could manage share cookies from webview with the flutter side.

On iOS I don't know yet.

@lejard-h For iOS, It seem's an app's cookies are stored in their own cookie jar:

NSHTTPCookie *cookie;
NSHTTPCookieStorage *cookieJar = [NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage];
for (cookie in [cookieJar cookies]) {
   NSLog(@"%@", cookie);
}

(From StackOverflow)

Not sure how outdated/accurate that answer is, though.

Future<Map<String, dynamic>> getCookies() for the next release 0.0.10,
also via eval function
final cookiesString = await evalJavascript("document.cookie");

@lejard-h is there a roadmap for the release i can follow up with? tks!

@marwan-at-work I'm interested in this too, looks like it's already been released in 0.0.10 (check the code)

@lucaslcode i don't see it in pub yet https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/flutter_webview_plugin#-versions-tab-

Not on pub yet, the release is blocked by #22 and #21, but if you are not concern by those issues, you can use the package directly from github and I am open to any contribution especially for iOS.
