How to delete WKWebview cookies

Supports iOS 11.0 and above

Following solution worked well for me:

Step 1. Remove Cookie from HTTPCookieStorage

Step 2. Fetch data records from WKWebsiteDataStore and delete them.

Step 3. Create a new WKProcessPool

Create a WKWebView Extension:

extension WKWebView {

    func cleanAllCookies() {
        HTTPCookieStorage.shared.removeCookies(since: Date.distantPast)
        print("All cookies deleted")

        WKWebsiteDataStore.default().fetchDataRecords(ofTypes: WKWebsiteDataStore.allWebsiteDataTypes()) { records in
            records.forEach { record in
                WKWebsiteDataStore.default().removeData(ofTypes: record.dataTypes, for: [record], completionHandler: {})
                print("Cookie ::: \(record) deleted")
            }
        }
    }

    func refreshCookies() {
        self.configuration.processPool = WKProcessPool()
    }
}

Usage:

override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewWillAppear(true)
        webView.cleanAllCookies()
        webView.refreshCookies()
    }

Swift 3 version of Sarat's answer:

let dataStore = WKWebsiteDataStore.default()
dataStore.fetchDataRecords(ofTypes: WKWebsiteDataStore.allWebsiteDataTypes()) { (records) in
    for record in records {
        if record.displayName.contains("facebook") {
            dataStore.removeData(ofTypes: WKWebsiteDataStore.allWebsiteDataTypes(), for: [record], completionHandler: {
                print("Deleted: " + record.displayName);
            })
        }
    }
}

Apple released new APIs for iOS 9, so now we can remove domain specific cookies stored for WKWebView with below code, but this will only work on devices with iOS version 9 or later:

Below is the Swift 3 version

let dataStore = WKWebsiteDataStore.default()
    dataStore.fetchDataRecords(ofTypes: WKWebsiteDataStore.allWebsiteDataTypes()) { (records) in
        for record in records {
            if record.displayName.contains("facebook") {
                dataStore.removeData(ofTypes: WKWebsiteDataStore.allWebsiteDataTypes(), for: [record], completionHandler: {
                    print("Deleted: " + record.displayName);
                })
            }
        }
    }

And Swift 4:

let dataStore = WKWebsiteDataStore.default()
dataStore.fetchDataRecords(ofTypes: WKWebsiteDataStore.allWebsiteDataTypes()) { records in
  dataStore.removeData(
    ofTypes: WKWebsiteDataStore.allWebsiteDataTypes(),
    for: records.filter { $0.displayName.contains("facebook") },
    completionHandler: completion
  )
}

Objective-C version -

WKWebsiteDataStore *dateStore = [WKWebsiteDataStore defaultDataStore];
[dateStore
   fetchDataRecordsOfTypes:[WKWebsiteDataStore allWebsiteDataTypes]
   completionHandler:^(NSArray<WKWebsiteDataRecord *> * __nonnull records) {
     for (WKWebsiteDataRecord *record  in records) {
       if ( [record.displayName containsString:@"facebook"]) {
         [[WKWebsiteDataStore defaultDataStore]
             removeDataOfTypes:record.dataTypes
             forDataRecords:@[record]
             completionHandler:^{
               NSLog(@"Cookies for %@ deleted successfully",record.displayName);
             }
         ];
       }
     }
   }
 ];

The above snippet will sure work for iOS 9 and later. Unfortunately, if we use WKWebView for iOS versions before iOS 9, we still have to stick to the traditional method and delete the whole cookies storage as below.

NSString *libraryPath = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSLibraryDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *cookiesFolderPath = [libraryPath stringByAppendingString:@"/Cookies"];
NSError *errors;
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] removeItemAtPath:cookiesFolderPath error:&errors];
