No clean public API existed to reuse the SDK-managed session with external libraries (Coil, Glide, custom OkHttp clients). Apps were forced to read internal SharedPreferences keys directly (e.g.
"myCookie"), coupling them to undocumented SDK internals.New public methods on
ClientgetHeaders(): Map<String, String>— immutable copy of current request headers (x-appwrite-project,x-appwrite-session,x-appwrite-jwt, etc.)getCookies(url: String): List<Cookie>— session cookies from the SDK's cookie jar for a given URL, without touching SharedPreferences directlygetHttpClient(): OkHttpClient— a newOkHttpClientbuilt from the SDK's configuration that shares the cookie jar, so session cookies are sent automatically on every requestUsage example
getHttpClient()returnshttp.newBuilder().build()— a defensive copy that shares the cookie jar but is isolated from the SDK's internalOkHttpClientinstance.Warning
