Is it possible to share cookies across two different UIWebView instances. What I am trying is in an UIWebView I load a request and in the shouldStartLoadWithRequest delegate method I check whether the request type is either UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked || UIWebViewNavigationTypeFormSubmitted. If yes, I will present a new viewcontroller which has a new UIWebView added on top of it's view by passing the url captured in the shouldStartLoadWithRequest. Then I load the url passed in the new UIWebView. In this process the cookies are not passed across the UIWebViews. Can anyone tell me what is going wrong.

all webviews within one app should have one shared cookie store. [NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage]

if that one isnt used by all web views inside ONE APP, something is wrong :)

as for sharing between apps: you can't. you are sandboxed!
