Clearing Cookies

[slyguy5646]

Hi there,

I'm using the browser and would like the functionality to clear the browser's cookies/instantiate a new browser rather than opening the same on as before. I need this in particular for a mobile OAuth flow. Is this is already a feature that is undocumented by any chance?

Hey thanks for the feedback feature is not present but i believe that not hard to to do, let me check this week, or next week ( a bit busy week)

[slyguy5646]

I am getting this error in Xcode when calling the method clearCookies():

⚡️  To Native ->  InAppBrowser clearCookies 15929536
⚡️  Error: Plugin InAppBrowser does not respond to method call "clearCookies" using selector "clearCookies:".

I am calling the method before opening the browser to start with a fresh browser instance.

Edit: It also seems so that the promise doesn't resolve

@mariusbolik how sorry you are right, i updated the method you should see it in 1.0.7

@riderx Thank you for the fast reply! One more thing: On Android the method also clears the local storage of the whole app. Is that a wanted behaviour or would it be better to clear the data only in the in-app-browser instance and not in the whole app?

should be only the in-app-browser, i tried to send a fix tell me if that help
