Description

we are simply embedding our website http://crewmeister.com/app using `cordova.InAppBrowser.open()` looking at the sqlite storage on the device I was able to reproduce that our server-side rails cookies are not stored reliably in the cookie storage (the sqlite file under /data/data/com.crewmeister.app/app_webview/Cookie on the device)
I saw that the cookie was updated seemingly just sometimes by accident, I was guessing that webkit's `CookieManager.flush()` might need to be called at least upon closing the app (so cookies survive across sessions).
I have read multiple complaints from other people online too but am not able to fix it. Any hints or even fixes would be greatly appreciated.
I guess somewhere in here the fix needs to take place https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-inappbrowser/blob/master/src%2Fandroid%2FInAppBrowser.java ...
Thanks, Wolfram
