Titanium webview iframe doesnt seem to store cookies - ios

I am developing an app using Appcelerators Titanium. The app consists of a webview. The webview shows i local page, iframe.html, and this iframe's src is pointed to a remote page.
However, this doesn't work out as i expected since it doesn't seem like the remote page can't store cookies when wrapped in an iframe. It works great on desktop and other devices. This seems to be an issue exclusive to iOS. I need the iframe, and i need cookies. What can i do to solve this?

iOS App with Webview inspecting > find URL

I'm using an iPhone App that has some important information on it, but I also figured out that it uses a webview. And I'm not sure if it's safe; like; is it over https? What URL is being called?
Is there a way you can find out what Website is being called in the webview? Like you can do inspect element when using Safari from OSX with usb-connected iPhone.
UIWebview works for any url you call it with. If your site is https, the communication will be encrypted. Not all requests on UIWebView are not https. You can't inspect element from iPhone/iPad/Simulator. You can do it in web in the mobile view (by using useragent).

is it possible to use iframe in phonegap ios application

I've tried a lot of code samples and methods but nothing works.. iframes in phonegap application doesn't load url in src attribute.
I want to learn is it possible to use iframe in a phonegap iOS application. And is there a way to show a website inside my app (except InAppBrowser). InAppBrowser just backgrounds my app and open safari. I want to show a url inside my own interface.
Yes you can have iFrames in your app to show some web pages but you have to be careful about which website you want to load in iFrame because most of the popular websites (FB, Twitter etc) doesn't allow their website to be rendered in iFrame using META tags like this:
<meta http-equiv="X-Frame-Options" content="deny" />

Site won't open in Facebook App for ios, nor redirect to Safari

I'm not a heavy coder here, so i'll ask my best.
We made a brochure about our home town. However users spreading it trough facebook cant open the links when in their facebook app. The app does not send it to safari either. If opened directly from safari it is no problem.
The link is http://visit.lodingen360.com
Is there anything i can do to the site/index.html/whatever that will make it open in safari when the link is clicked in the facebook app for ios? (that won't affect visiting the site from pc's and so on)
Is there anything uiwebview won't read that can force it to safari, so that we can redirect from the thing opened in safari to the site?
Your page will load and display in Mobile Safari, I tried with UIWebView and it will load without displaying an error, but the brouchure page content won't display.
Safari and UIWebView have different user agent's - therefore my guess is that because your site uses flash but it checking for the type of browser you are not performing the check correctly for UIWebView and the page is attempting to use flash which isn't supported.

Links in remote JQueryMobile sites in a PhoneGap app open safari

I'm having quite a peculiar problem with PhoneGap and JQuery Mobile, using the latest versions of both frameworks as of this writing.
My phonegap app has some pages 'local' to the app, and other pages that are loaded directly from a remote site. Going between the local and remote pages is fine (there is no transition but that can't exactly be helped). However, once I'm on the remote pages, any link I click on the remote pages opens Safari with the page I requested. This is not desirable functionality, as I would like it all to be within the UIWebView, and none of my links are marked with anything special that would cause Safari to open.
It gets weirder. If I then switch from Safari back to the program, the remote page I requested appears in the UIWebView, however pressing the back button leads me not to the first remote page, but the first local page.
The phonegap app right now is quite bare, very close to the default except with JQM css + js loaded. This happens even if I create a simple test app that has one local JQM page, one remote JQM page and then a remote page that is linked to from a JQM remote page.
I'm stumped. What's going on here?
The default behavior for PhoneGap is to open external links in Safari unless they are added to the ExternalHosts property in PhoneGap.plist.
Try adding the external hosts and PhoneGap should behave correctly and load the external locations inside of the application.

Here also is a post about using iFrames and ExternalHosts that could be of some help as well.

iPad and iframe cookies

I am developing a Facebook canvas application using the iframe method, because of existing infrastructure the session data is set in a cookie between each page request (including jQuery JSON requests) this all works fine in Safari, Firefox, Chrome and IE( with the P3P header being set) but not in MobileSafari on the iPad (iOS 4.2).
I've been watching the debug as each page is loaded and it seems the session isn't being passed through as each page loads.
Does anyone know what it takes to get MobileSafari accepting cookies inside an iframe?
Thanks in advance!
