To actually answer your question:

No.

Mobile Safari's cookies are not accessible from SDK apps. And each SDK app is given its own WebKit cache and cookie stores, so while cookies will persist within the same app, they aren't accessible betweeen apps.

As of iOS 9 this is possible!

Use a sfSafariViewController.

You will need to setup:

  • A custom URL scheme in your app to receive cookie data.
  • The website you are getting cookies from will need to implement an API specific your app's custom URL scheme, to redirect back to your app.

You can clone this repo which has a fully working demo of this.

Hope this helps,
