Description
CAPBridgeViewController.webViewConfiguration(for:)added aCapacitorWKCookieObserverto the web view'shttpCookieStorebut did not keep any reference to it:Per Apple's docs,
WKHTTPCookieStoredoes not retain its observers:So the observer was deallocated immediately after
add(_:)returned, andcookiesDidChange(in:)never fired. The result: cookies set inside theWKWebViewwere never synced back toHTTPCookieStorage.This PR holds a strong reference to the observer on the view controller, and also retains the store it was added to so the observer can be removed in
deinit, as the docs require.Change Type
Rationale / Problems Fixed
The cookie observer was dead on arrival —
cookiesDidChangenever ran because the instance had no owner and was released right away. WKWebView →HTTPCookieStoragecookie syncing has therefore been silently broken.The observer is now stored in an optional property assigned at the call site, so a subclass that overrides
webViewConfiguration(for:)without calling the observer code creates no dangling instance. A weak reference to the exactWKHTTPCookieStoreis kept sodeinitcan remove the observer per Apple's contract.Tests or Reproductions

Notes / Comments
The default
websiteDataStoreis the.default()singleton, so the store reference stays valid for the controller's lifetime; the weak reference avoids extending the store's lifetime or creating a retain cycle.
