share cookies between webview and chrome

Question

Is this possible in android to share cookies between webview (WebChromeClient) and Chrome app

(analogue of how it is done in ios with SFSafariViewController, where cookies shared between in-app SFSafariViewController and Safari app)

Edit 0: it looks like google chrome custom tabs share cookies with chrome app, but it's separete chrome app activity, not view widget like webview

Answer 1

As far as I am aware sadly no. There are multiple reasons why browsers (and actually your app) would want and need this information private and protected (mostly security). I imagine if any cookies or private browser data were openly visible by any other app it would open the world of possibilities for abuse.

I may be wrong though, so anyone feel free to correct me.

Cheers
