Session cookie not working in production deployment
I've already tested that. That's not the problem. It seems more like the hook isn't sending the cookie when it's executed server-side. Although the token is included when I log the headers.

Session cookie not working in production deployment
Hi, I was hoping, but unfortunately it still doesn't work for me this way. It works on the client side. It doesn't work on the server side. The cookie is present, session is null.

Cookies not saved in production
Are your backend and frontend using the same domain? Then configure cross-domain cookies https://www.better-auth.com/docs/concepts/cookies#cross-subdomain-cookies

Unfortunately not. To this day, I'm still facing the same problem: the session can only be accessed client-side. I still haven't had any success with NextJS on the server-side 😦

Session cookie not working in production deployment
Hmm, I see your point about centrally fetching the session async in the layout. However, I also do a lot of fetching on the individual pages server-side, which is why I need async there anyway. Your suggestion is best practice, but it doesn't change my problem that the session is null. It doesn't really matter which call I make from the authclient, whether it's retrieving sessions, accounts, etc. everything that is serverside doesn't work with nextjs 😦

Unfortunately I don't have access to the internal API because I don't use NextJS as a backend, but only as a frontend. My backend is on express

Session cookie not working in production deployment
Makes sense, thanks. It actually works client-side now, thanks 🙂 It's strange that I've never encountered this issue with localhost before. I'm still having the same issue server-side, though. One more note: I'm also using the same backend with the Expo plugin. The session works there. It's probably a slightly different architecture, though.

Ahh, I see, so it doesn't work on both the server and client side with getSession/useSession. I have a /protected-client page where the session is also null in prod. I added it in Notion.

Session cookie not working in production deployment
Mmm, you mean from my localhost to the prod API? The cookie is set on .playin.gg, so that wouldn't work.

It's actually not even removed for me. I still have the cookie, but it's just not recognized.

Session cookie not working in production deployment
Hmm, I'm also using NGINX as a reverse proxy. I was wondering if that could be the problem, but according to the logs, the cookies are present on the backend. I've already played around with the configuration a bit, but so far, I've never had any problems with cookies... but the better-auth session hooks in my deployed frontend still don't want to recognize the session, even though the cookie is present 😦 I still haven't found a solution.

Hmm, I tried that. It's also deployed in auth.playin.gg. But it still doesn't work. I don't understand it somehow

  advanced: {
    // cookiePrefix: "playingg",
    crossSubDomainCookies: {
