How to delete all cookies of UIWebView?

In my application, I have a UIWebview that loads linkedin auth page for login. When user logs in, cookies saves into the application.

My app has a logout button that is not related to linkedin login. So when user clicks on this button, he logs off from the app. I want that this log off will clear his linkedin cookies also from the app, so that user will log out completely.

Previous answers didn't help me in the case of using MKWebView. So, I found another solution:

func loadAuthUrl(_ url: URL) {
        
        let finally: VoidClosure = { [weak self] in
            guard let self = self else { return }
            let request = URLRequest(url: url, cachePolicy: .reloadIgnoringLocalAndRemoteCacheData, timeoutInterval: 60.0)
            self.webView.load(request)
        }
        
        let cookieStore = webView.configuration.websiteDataStore.httpCookieStore
        cookieStore.getAllCookies({ [weak self] cookies in
            guard let _ = self else { return }
            let instagramCookies = cookies.filter({ $0.domain == ".instagram.com" })
            if instagramCookies.isEmpty {
                finally()
            } else {
                DispatchQueue.global().async(execute: {
                    let group = DispatchGroup()
                    for cookie in cookies {
                        group.enter()
                        cookieStore.delete(cookie, completionHandler: { group.leave() })
                    }
                    group.wait()
                    DispatchQueue.main.async(execute: finally)
                })
            }
        })
    }

If anyone is looking for Swift Solution:

    let storage = HTTPCookieStorage.shared
    if let cookies = storage.cookies{
        for cookie in cookies {
             storage.deleteCookie(cookie)
        }
    }

Just wanted to add some info regarding this.

In OS X 10.9/iOS 7 and later, you can use -resetWithCompletionHandler: to clear the cookies and cache etc. of the whole app from your sharedSession:

Empties all cookies, caches and credential stores, removes disk files, flushes in-progress downloads to disk, and ensures that future requests occur on a new socket.

[[NSURLSession sharedSession] resetWithCompletionHandler:^{
    // Do something once it's done.
}];

The for-In loop with deleteCookie: sounds like modifying while enumerating a collection to me. (Don't know, could be a bad idea?)

According to this question, you can go through each cookie in the "Cookie Jar" and delete them, like so:

NSHTTPCookieStorage *storage = [NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage];
for (NSHTTPCookie *cookie in [storage cookies]) {
   [storage deleteCookie:cookie];
}
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];

You could make a function inside the html of the WebView, that cleans the cookies.

If you need the cleaning to be done only once you could trigger this function with a Titanium event, only when the app starts.
