WebView Cookies not working

[jmezach]

Description

I'm trying to set some cookies that I have gotten through an HttpClient onto a WebView so that it will send those along. However, this doesn't seem to work at all, both on iOS and Android. I've followed the documentation, but from what I can see the cookies are never being sent. I also noticed this TODO into code, which leads me to believe that this feature hasn't been implemented yet. But the docs seem to state that it is, so I'm a bit confused right now.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add a WebView control to a page
2. Create a CookieContainer instance and add some cookies to it for a specific URL
3. Set the CookieContainer instance on the Cookies property of the WebView
4. Set the Source property on the WebView control to an instance of UrlWebViewSource with the same URL used in step 2.
5. Navigation to the page fails because it requires those cookies
6. I also don't see the cookies anywhere in the Safari or Edge Developer Tools connected to the WebView on the simulator

Version with bug

7.0 (current)

Last version that worked well

7.0 (current)

Affected platforms

iOS, Android

Affected platform versions

Android API 33, iOS 16.2

Did you find any workaround?

Perhaps I could drop down to the native platform API's to set up the cookies outside of MAUI, but I haven't tried this yet. I wanted to try using the MAUI API's though because in a previous experiment I was able to get this working on Android, but not on IOS using the native API's, so I was wondering if MAUI fixed that somehow.

Will this be ported to .NET 7 too?
