No cookies set when using the signInEmail method

Hello, I have configured Better-Auth to connect with email/password. The information passes correctly to connect the user, the associated data is returned. However, no cookie is set in the browser, so I can't return anything with getSession... auth.methods.ts 
export const signIn = action.schema(signInSchema).action(async ({ parsedInput: input, ctx }) => {    
    await authentication.api.signInEmail({
        body: {
            email: input.email,
            password: input.password,
            callbackUrl: "/",
            redirect: true, // not working
        }
    }).then((r) => console.log(r));
});
export const signIn = action.schema(signInSchema).action(async ({ parsedInput: input, ctx }) => {    
    await authentication.api.signInEmail({
        body: {
            email: input.email,
            password: input.password,
            callbackUrl: "/",
            redirect: true, // not working
        }
    }).then((r) => console.log(r));
});
auth-client.ts 
import { createAuthClient } from "better-auth/react"
import { env } from "process"

export const authClient = createAuthClient({
    baseURL: env.BETTER_AUTH_URL
})
import { createAuthClient } from "better-auth/react"
import { env } from "process"

export const authClient = createAuthClient({
    baseURL: env.BETTER_AUTH_URL
})
auth.ts 
export const authentication = betterAuth({
    emailAndPassword: {
        enabled: true
    },
    database: prismaAdapter(prisma, { provider: "sqlite" }),
    plugins: [nextCookies()]
});
export const authentication = betterAuth({
    emailAndPassword: {
        enabled: true
    },
    database: prismaAdapter(prisma, { provider: "sqlite" }),
    plugins: [nextCookies()]
});
auth.schema.ts 
export const signInSchema = z.object({
    email: z.string().email(),
    password: z.string().min(12)
});
export const signInSchema = z.object({
    email: z.string().email(),
    password: z.string().min(12)
});
auth.helper.ts 
export const authCheck = async () => {    
    const session = await auth.api.getSession({
        headers: await headers()
    }) // return null
    
    if (session?.user) {
        const user = session.user as User;
        return user;
    }

      return null;
};
export const authCheck = async () => {    
    const session = await auth.api.getSession({
        headers: await headers()
    }) // return null
    
    if (session?.user) {
        const user = session.user as User;
        return user;
    }

      return null;
};

Yes, first I didn't use it, then I added it. Hey, This was due to a double check of the schema of the values sent, I changed the structure of my form in the meantime and forgot to clean it up. My bad. I'll leave the code just in case. Before: 
// server action
export const signInAction = action.schema(signInSchema).action(async ({ parsedInput: input, ctx }) => {
    try {
        await signIn({
            email: input.email,
            password: input.password,
        });
    } catch {
        return {
            error: "Error while signing in",
        };
    }

    //redirect("/");
});

// auth.methods
export const signIn = action.schema(signInSchema).action(async ({ parsedInput: input, ctx }) => {
    await authentication.api.signInEmail({
        body: {
            email: input.email,
            password: input.password
        }
    });
});
// server action
export const signInAction = action.schema(signInSchema).action(async ({ parsedInput: input, ctx }) => {
    try {
        await signIn({
            email: input.email,
            password: input.password,
        });
    } catch {
        return {
            error: "Error while signing in",
        };
    }

    //redirect("/");
});

// auth.methods
export const signIn = action.schema(signInSchema).action(async ({ parsedInput: input, ctx }) => {
    await authentication.api.signInEmail({
        body: {
            email: input.email,
            password: input.password
        }
    });
});
After: 
// server action
export const signInAction = action.schema(signInSchema).action(async ({ parsedInput: input, ctx }) => {
    await signIn({
        email: input.email,
        password: input.password
    });

    redirect("/");
});

// auth.methods
export const signIn = async (input: SignInFormType) => {
    await auth.api.signInEmail({
        body: {
            email:  input.email,
            password: input.password,
            callbackUrl: "/",
            rememberMe: false            
        }
    });
};
// server action
export const signInAction = action.schema(signInSchema).action(async ({ parsedInput: input, ctx }) => {
    await signIn({
        email: input.email,
        password: input.password
    });

    redirect("/");
});

// auth.methods
export const signIn = async (input: SignInFormType) => {
    await auth.api.signInEmail({
        body: {
            email:  input.email,
            password: input.password,
            callbackUrl: "/",
            rememberMe: false            
        }
    });
};
However callbackUrl not working so I redirect with next/redirect

You are using the server API in the actions that why redirects are not working if you pass asResponse you could get the Web Standard Response and it will have the location set to the redirect, Cookies are working because i assume you have the nextCookies plugin if they aren't working then you should manually set the cookie by getting the token from the response this would be the value
