Appwrite SDK v1.6 is not sending Cookies with requests

In my dev server, everything worked fine but as soon as I pushed to staging, users were not able to login. I found the commit which caused the issue and that was when I updated Appwrite client SDK from 1.5 -> 1.6. I looked at the code to compare what changed.

After a user logs in using createEmailPasswordSession, the app redirects to /, which then gets the user account using account.get. This exact same code was working with SDK v1.5 but failed for SDK v1.6. I checked the code for account.get in both versions and it looked the same, so I checked the call method in Client class and noticed a difference between the two.

v1.5

let options: RequestInit = {
        method,
        headers,
        credentials: 'include'
    };

v1.6

let options: RequestInit = {
        method,
        headers
    };

By default, fetch does not include cookies. To include cookies in a fetch request, you need to set the credentials option to include or same-origin. SDK v1.5 used to have the correct options set, and I think v1.6 should do the same.

afaik this was probably done for ssr, i might be wrong. so in that case one would do sign in via server sdk, get secret and pass it to client sdk like - client.setSession.
