Enable Cookies in your phoneGap app and open http/ https links in safari

AppDelegate.m

- (id) init
{	
	/** 
	 * Enable cookies
	 **/
	NSHTTPCookieStorage *cookieStorage = [NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage]; 
	[cookieStorage setCookieAcceptPolicy:NSHTTPCookieAcceptPolicyAlways]; 
	NSHTTPCookie *cookie; 
	for (cookie in [[NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage] 
					cookies]) { 
		NSLog(@"%@", [cookie description]); 
	}
	
    return [super init];
}


- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)theWebView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType
{
	NSURL *url = [request URL];
	
	if ([[url scheme] isEqualToString:@"http"] || [[url scheme] isEqualToString:@"https"])
	{
		[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];
		return NO;
	}
	else
	{
		return [ super webView:theWebView 
	shouldStartLoadWithRequest:request 
				navigationType:navigationType ];
	}

}

hey @bringo, this was an old snippet. I have not tried getting cookies working in a webview in iOS5 and the code above was kind of a hack to get cookies to work the way I wanted in the phone gap project.

Thanks for letting me know. Looks like they added this to PhoneGap directly... not that it is actually doing what it is supposed to for my app. :(

I know your pain, good luck with your app!
