I’m using AFNetworking as a network layer for my iPhone app which connects to a Rails server that uses Devise for authentication. If I sign in (with a POST call) providing username/password then after that any GET I perform is ok.

If I close the app (not just background) then all my GET requests fail because I guess they’re not authenticated.

So I presume cookies are stored somewhere; is there a way to save them in NSUserDefaults or somewhere like that in order to avoid logging in all the time?

    Cookies are indeed automatically stored for the lifetime of your application for any subsequent requests on a particular server. A good strategy would be to store the username and password in the keychain or in NSUserDefaults like this:

    // Setting
[[NSUserDefaults standardDefaults] setObject:username forKey:@"username"];
[[NSUserDefaults standardDefaults] synchronize];

// Getting
NSString *username = [[NSUserDefaults standardDefaults] objectForKey:@"username"];

    You may want to use this in combination with AFHTTPClient to send your credentials along with every request in an Authorization HTTP header.
