I'm working on a PhoneGap app with server session usage. It needs cookies to handle the session. Additionally, the cookie from the load balancer should be handled, too. So there is no way around. How do you handle Cookies in your PhoneGap app?
I have already accomplished some research:
Friend, I've tried too without success to use cookies with phonegap. The solution was use localStorage.
Key Quick Example:
var keyName = window.localStorage.key(0);
Set Item Quick Example:
window.localStorage.setItem("key", "value");
Get Item Quick Example
var value = window.localStorage.getItem("key");
// value is now equal to "value"
Remove Item Quick Example:
window.localStorage.removeItem("key");
Clear Quick Example:
window.localStorage.clear();
If you use you javascript for both mobile and web, you can use this code to detect that enviroment:
var wl = window.location.href;
var mob = (wl.indexOf("android")>0);

Be aware: using anonymous navigation on iOS may make localstorage not work like spected. A simple test that are working fine to me:
$(document).ready(function () {
try {
localStorage.setItem('test', '1');
} catch (Err) {
if (Err.message.indexOf('QuotaExceededError') > -1) {
// Tell the user they are in anonymous mode
// Sugest it to go to https://support.apple.com/pt-br/HT203036 to get help to disable it
}
}
}
});
