iOS 7 Safari: jwplayer not sending cookie to load m3u8 file (encrypted hls stream)

My setup is as follows

  1. Webapp hosted at domain A.
  2. HLS videos hosted at domain B (.m3u8, .ts and .key files)
  3. After loading wbeapp, I create cookie for domain B by loading iframe of domain B (empty iframe)
  4. Try to play video using jwplayer which takes path of m3u8 file hosted at domain B.
  5. In server B I use cookie to verify if request is authentic and server content.

Everything works perfectly fine on all browsers but on iOS 7 safari, domain cookie is not being sent to domain B along with m3u8 file. I have checked safari settings to never block cookie.

Does anyone know why I am not getting cookie? Am I missing any setting or something? Please let me know for any clarification.

Thank you so much

EDIT It is not the issue with JWPlayer but iOS 7 device. (Please refer to comments) For now I made work around to create session in first call when serving m3u8 file. This session is being passed to subsequent requests.

For some reason, Safari decided to ignore the third party cookie, so you cannot set the cookie from your B site with the iframe where your user is trying to access A site.
