hey all, getting some very strange behaviour with webviews and base64 encoding.
basically, i am able to set cookies as long as they havent just been base64 encoded. see below

val validCookieString = "MTExMDkxNTM0MaDoxNjEzMDg5MzYzNw==" // encoded string copy pasted from logs, works ok
        val invalidCookieString = "${bip}:${cap}".encodeToBase64() // doesnt work
        val bpCaCookie =
            "ai" to invalidCookieString

        debug { bpCaCookie.second }
        with(CookieManager.getInstance()) {
            removeAllCookies {
                setAcceptCookie(true)
                setCookie(url, "${bpCaCookie.first}=${bpCaCookie.second}")  // inside webview, the cookie isnt set if using invalidCookieString

and the encoding logic

private fun String.encodeToBase64() =
        Base64.encodeToString(this.toByteArray(), Base64.DEFAULT)

to top it all off this all only started happening on friday, on all previous versions of the app

i see the not kotlin react, i shouldve expressed this better though as i think the issue has to do with the specific strings themselves and why they may not be exactly the same even if they appear to be
