Description

## Problem

I see there is a `getCookies` method, but I want to set cookie to webview, so webview and app can share the same session.

I tried the following method, but not working.

```dart
final cookieJar = await vm.config.cookieJar;
final webview = FlutterWebviewPlugin();
for (var item in cookieJar.domains) {
for (var domainCookies in item.values) {
for (var pathCookies in domainCookies.values) {
for (var cookie in pathCookies.values) {
cookie.cookie.httpOnly = false;
print('document.cookie = "${cookie.cookie}";');
await webview.evalJavascript(
'document.cookie = "${cookie.cookie}";');
}
}
}
}
```

I tried the JavaScript code in Chrome, it did work.

Research direction

Start with the public getCookies and evalJavascript entry points and trace how the cookieJar values reach the native WebView. Reproduce the reported failure using the FlutterWebviewPlugin setup; done means establishing a supported way to share the session cookie or clearly documenting that it is not supported.
