04/14/2023, 9:09 AMHi @sdekna ,
Capacitor on iOS does not use the http protocol (instead it uses a custom capacitor:// procotol) when loading the app which can cause issues with cookies in general. If you are only building for mobile I would recommend switching to using headers instead of cookies: https://supertokens.com/docs/emailpassword/common-customizations/sessions/token-transfer-method

04/14/2023, 9:15 AMAlternatively if you wanted to stick with cookies you can refer to this file as inspiration for custom cookie handling: https://github.com/RobSchilderr/capacitor-supertokens-nextjs-turborepo/blob/main/packages/lib/utils/capacitorCookieHandler.ts
Note that you will have to pass this as the cookie handler when initialising SuperTokens on the frontend
