[SOLVED] Appwrite Cloud for web - cookie setting issues - Threads

When using appwrite cloud with web- to get cookies set to work(due to origin issues), I had to:

You have to use custom domains.
You can’t point domain.com to appwrite cloud api - because I can’t create CNAME @- so, I had to create api.domain.com.
Then I had to set my web to web.api.domain.com. - to allow it to accept .api.domain.com. Cookies.

Is there an alternative solution?

TL;DR

The user experienced issues with cookie setting in Appwrite Cloud for web. The solution was to use custom domains and set the appwrite endpoint hostname as a subdomain of the app. For example, if the app runs on my-app.com, the user should use api.my-app.com for Appwrite. There is no alternative solution provided in the thread.

so the appwrite endpoint hostname needs to be a subdomain of your app. For example, if your app runs on my-app.com, you can use api.my-app.com for Appwrite.

For more info, see https://appwrite.io/docs/custom-domains

When I do that, following the docs, the cookies get set with a domain of .api.my-app.com. However the web browser at my-app.com wouldn’t use them and shows this when inspecting the cookies.

and you're accessing your app at apinative.com?

Exactly

where are you seeing this?

maybe clear your cookies and try again?

seems to work fine for me

Thank you, it seems I had an issue with my browsers.
