IPhone - UIWebview does not save authentication on sites

For these purposes, let's say I have an application that contains one UIWebview view.

I upload a request to any of these sites: facebook, gmail, twitter, etc. and get the login screen.

The fact is that if I log in and restart the application, I will have to go through the login screen again.

In the Mobile Safari / Google application, for example, I would save my data in a cookie / session / whatnot and would not need to re-enter the user credentials. This is the behavior I want to have.

The material I tried:

  • sending cookies from NSHTTPCookieStorage via NSURLRequest.
  • Saving cookies directly to NSUserDefaults, but not luck.

How can I achieve Mobile Safari and Google app behavior?

Cookies must be archived and saved when the application is completed, and then reloaded when the application becomes active. You can achieve this by:

[[NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage] setCookies:cookies forURL:url mainDocumentURL:nil]; // where cookies is the unarchived array of cookies

Use the asiHTTPrequest class. It helped me a lot in my projects.
