Using header based auth with Capacitor

Question

Hy everyone I have trouble using tokenTransferMethod header I want to ship my react app in a webview on iOS with CapacitorJs I can t make the webview work with cookies on iOS so I thought I could switch to header based auth So I just added tokenTransferMethod to my client configuration The client seams to pick it up since I see the header st auth mode header to be sent But I don t see any header Authorization being sent to the server I also added logging which tells me in the browser following interesting lines ```com supertokens t 2023 04 14T09 32 58 495Z message setAuthorizationHeaderIfRequired token for header based auth not found supertokens website ver 16 0 1 ``` I m actually a bit confused I would expect that the tokens are stored somewhere like the local storage and then attached from there But they seam to be read from the cookies which should not be used as I stated to use headers Is it my responsibility to persist the tokens somewhere Am I missing something

You can refer to this file https github com RobSchilderr capacitor supertokens nextjs turborepo blob main packages lib utils capacitorCookieHandler ts It implements a custom cookie handler that can be passed to SuperTokens to change the default behaviour of storing the auth token in cookies

Note You pass this to SuperTokens when initialising the SDK
