Setting cookie prefixes host_key with a period

[Thenlie]

  if (Platform.OS === 'android') {
    CookieManager.set(
      'https://attendee-login-service-dev.us-east-1.lb.com/attendee-login',
      {
        name: 'AttendeeLoginOAuthToken',
        value: 'test',
        domain: 'attendee-login-service-dev.us-east-1.lb.com',
        path: '/attendee-login',
        version: 1,
        expires: '2023-09-01T00:00:00.00'
      }
    ).then(success => {
      if (success) LOG.debug('CookieManager.set =>', success);
      else LOG.error('CookieManager.set =>', success);
    });
  }

I am using this snippet and attempting to overwrite a cookie that already exists. My hope is that it will update the value to whatever is passed in the value field.

Expected: Update the existing cookie value to test
Actual: Creates a new cookie with the key .attendee-login-service-dev.us-east-1.lb.com

I am unsure why the period is being added to the start of the domain. Can anyone shed some light?

Hi @Thenlie, would you like to share how you solved this? Thanks!

@jakubboguski I ended up using setFromResponse. So my final code looks like this:

if (Platform.OS === 'android') {
  const now = new Date();
  const tomorrow = new Date(now.getTime() + 86400000); // +1 day in ms
  const { loginService } = getConfig(environment);

  const res = await CookieManager.setFromResponse(
    loginService.url,
    `AttendeeLoginOAuthToken=hidden; path=/attendee-login; expires=${tomorrow.toUTCString()}; secure; HttpOnly`
  );
  if (res) LOG.debug('CookieManager setFromResponse success!');
  else LOG.error('CookieManager setFromResponse failed!');
}

I still don't understand the cause of the original issue here, but this seemed like a useable workaround for my case.

I ended up with the same solution (for android). I noticed also that setFromResponse couldn't set domain in any way.

Thanks for the quick reply @Thenlie
