iOS SSO with ASWebAuthenticationSession and SFSafariViewController

## Issue

We have a native application that we're prototyping which needs to:

Authenticate a User to fetch an Access Token as a public client via OIDC (OAUTH2)
Render Web Content, in-app, from our web site which is protected by the same IdP (Keycloak) as the access token was fetched from above.
We are using this AppAuth library and it is following the best practices of RFC 8252 by using an external user agent so that the native application cannot snoop on the user credentials. Being iOS 13+, it is using ASWebAuthenticationSession. This part is working perfectly for us.

We are having problems when trying to then access our protected site via SFSafariViewController. The cookies set by the IdP from ASWebAuthenticationSession are not visible. This is the case no matter if the cookies are session or persistent cookies. As such, the user must authenticate again.

I'm highly confused about that state of cookie sharing of various types (persistent vs session) with the various versions of iOS and the various methods (ASWebAuthenticationSession, SFSafariViewController + WKWebView). There seems to be no definitive matrix that I've been able to find.

From spending time researching, it feels like with the present cookie restrictions on iOS (for security + privacy [good things!]), I can't accomplish what I want. This feels like such a common thing to want to do, I'm hoping I'm doing something wrong.

A couple of questions thus follow:

Can persistent and/or session cookie sharing across ASWebAuthenticationSession and SFSafariViewController be allowed in the same app?
If not, are there alternative approaches/patterns?
Thanks!
