iphone - Error logging into Instagram in iOS app using UIWebView

Question

I'm following Instagram authentication [recommended] steps using UIWebView on an iOS app. After entering credentials, hitting login loads a page with following error.

This page could not be loaded. If you have cookies disabled in your browser, or you are browsing in private mode, please try enabling cookies or turning off private mode, and then retrying your action.

And, this only happens on first run through the steps of authentication; on the next attempt, everything works smooth as silk. I get the code suffixed to redirect url and I request access token using it.

There's already another question here and it doesn't help.

EDIT: It seems like Cookies issue. Though, I haven't been able to fix it yet.

Answer 1

I had a similar problem when I was deleting cookies to make sure the log in screen appeared and not just using the currently logged in user. Try (swift):

let storage = HTTPCookieStorage.shared
storage.cookieAcceptPolicy = .always
