I can see that I can save cookie manually, but I don't understand how I can use the cookie I saved.
all I'm trying to do is use cookies when I log in, any ideas?

Instead of using again the method generateDevice() from core/state, initialize and set saved client state.
const ig = new IgApiClient(); ig.state.deviceString = "saved deviceString"; ig.state.deviceId = "saved deviceId"; ig.state.uuid = "saved uuid"; ig.state.phoneId = "saved phoneId"; ig.state.adid = "saved adid"; ig.state.build = "saved build"; await ig.state.deserializeCookieJar(JSON.stringify(cookies));

@xIsra @TheFedex87
Could someone update session.example.ts with all relevant things? (serialize device data, restore everything at start)?

I am not nodejs developer and reading js code is hard for me.
Thanks in advance!
