How I can get http-only and secure cookies on android device

Hello guys,

I’m current build a RN app with react-native-webview and @react-native-community/cookies. Now, i need to access all cookies in webview. With some help of @react-native-community/cookies on ios devices, i can get all of this but on android i only get non-secure/non-httpOnly cookies.

Android devices is running on API 28.

Here my code:

1. Implement webview <WebView ref={webViewRef} source={{uri: 'https://example.com'}} javaScriptEnabled={true} sharedCookiesEnabled={true} thirdPartyCookiesEnabled={true} />
2. Get cookies useEffect(() => { let getCookies = () => CookieManager.getAll(useWebKit).then((cookies) => { console.log('CookieManager.get =>', cookies); }); if (Platform.OS === 'android') { getCookies = () => CookieManager.get('https://linkedin.com').then((cookies) => { console.log('CookieManager.get =>', cookies); }); } getCookies(); }, []);

@hengkx Ios still can get httpOnly cookie, try to use CookieManager.getAll(true).then(...).

@marf I think this issue become from Android native code, in class CookieManager, not from this library.

@cody0203 do you think that in android there is no library which allows this or simply we have to fork CookieManager to allow this kind of behavior the same as in iOS?

I don’t know if any android’s library can do it but I have tried to re config CookieManager in android code and nothing happens. In android official docs don’t mention this feature too. Sry for my bad English, wish you can understand.

I am not an English native speaker too 😃 The only thing I have found is this answer from StackOverflow:

Get HttpOnly Cookies Android

It suggests using reflection, but it is quite old and a comment said that it does not work, so I am not sure if this may be a solution.

I tried and it does not work 😃
