Question

For now I am doing like this

    NSHTTPCookieStorage *storage = [NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage];
    for (cookie in [         


        

Answer 1

Supports iOS 11.0 and above

Following solution worked well for me:

Step 1. Remove Cookie from HTTPCookieStorage

Step 2. Fetch data records from WKWebsiteDataStore and delete them.

Step 3. Create a new WKProcessPool

Create a WKWebView Extension:

extension WKWebView {

    func cleanAllCookies() {
        HTTPCookieStorage.shared.removeCookies(since: Date.distantPast)
        print("All cookies deleted")

        WKWebsiteDataStore.default().fetchDataRecords(ofTypes: WKWebsiteDataStore.allWebsiteDataTypes()) { records in
            records.forEach { record in
                WKWebsiteDataStore.default().removeData(ofTypes: record.dataTypes, for: [record], completionHandler: {})
                print("Cookie ::: \(record) deleted")
            }
        }
    }

    func refreshCookies() {
        self.configuration.processPool = WKProcessPool()
    }
}

Usage:

override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewWillAppear(true)
        webView.cleanAllCookies()
        webView.refreshCookies()
    }
