Clearing cookies and cache from in app browser

[Richard]

We are using the in app browser (through window.open) to great effect, but it seems that (on iOS at least) the browser cookies are saved between app sessions. I can see how that might be useful in many scenarios, but in ours it presents a security hole as a different user may be picking up cookies from the previous user. Does anyone know of a way to clear the in app browser cache and cookies?

Hi Richard,

You can clear InAppBrowser cookies using the "clearsessioncache" attribute:

window.open("domain.com", "_blank", "location=no,clearsessioncache=yes"); 

which however appears to be available on Android. You can clear the session cookie via javascript directly or indirectly (via js framework like this one). Or you can utilize a custom Cordova plugin for the purpose, take a look at this one.
