Ionic + in app browser + cookies = doesn't work

[otupman]

Found an interesting problem while trying to use ng-token-auth with cookie storage on Ionic but using ng-cordova-auth to handle my oauth process - the cookies get wiped. At least they do on Android. And, of course, having come out of the auth process ng-token-auth has lost it's auth tokens.

This appears to be due to the default configuration of the in-app-browser where it will clear the cookie cache before opening up the "new" browser window.

It's a bit of a pain to find this problem as it'll only appear once one deploys to an emulator or device.

Options I see are:

• Detect the presence of the cordova object and maybe console.warn the developer
• Include a note in the README.md either in the config section about the storage option
• Create a Cordova-specific section somewhere in the README to collect and deal with these (edge?) cases

I could do any of those, just not sure which is most appropriate.

👍 +1 for cordova specific readme section.

We're working on inAppBrowser support in an upcoming PR ... See also Issues #90 and #141 for tracking other implementations / etc. Going to close this, as documentation is also being addressed in the PR.

The PRs are in for ng-token-auth #188 and devise-token-auth (lynndylanhurley/devise_token_auth#323). Please try these branches out and let us know if there are any issues in implementation. Will merge soon if no major issues are found!
