Hello everyone,

I'm having an issue with cookie management on a native project.
I use AcceptAllCookiesStorage() as CookiesStorage on my httpClient.
To remove cookies when logging out from our app, we invalidate all the cookies by updating their expiring date.

Just like this :

fun CookiesStorage.invalidateCookies(url: URL) {
    val invalidatedCookies = get(url).map { it.copy(expires = GMTDate(timestamp = -1)) }
    invalidatedCookies.forEach { cookie -> addCookie(url, cookie) }
}

It works on Android but not on iOS.
After spending some times on the subject, I noticed that the cookies on the CookiesStorage are always empty.
But when I do the requests on my app, I do have cookies.
I did succeeded to found where the cookies were stored but I couldn't delete or invalidate them.

To sum up :

AcceptAllCookiesStorage().get(url).count() => 0 cookies (doesn't work)

httpClient.cookies(url).count() => 3 cookies (works but can't update them)

Is this a known problem or did I do something wrong ?

I guess the problem is that the underlying Darwin HTTP client manages cookies on its own. Can you please file an issue with a complete code snippet to reproduce the problem?
