Bugs: Comments posted via iOS app end up url-encoded

Former Member over 10 years ago

Since today I noticed that if I post a comment to a workout using the iOS Garmin Connect App, the comment ends up being published with URL encoded characters.

Do you have some sort of QA that tests things before you deploy them? Do you have some sort of UnitTests covering your APIs?

This error is extremely annoying since I use the App a lot. It shouldn't have passed your testing & staging environments (you have those, haven't you?).

Makes the comments quite useless :mad:

I've got the same on my GCM.
i wrote in the comments section "ja ik o.a" which appeared as Ja%2C%20ik%20o.a
just a bug that needs to be ironed out I think....

And it wasn't there last week on my app, so yes it is a bug.

How does this type of thing get reported to garmin?
I created a similar post a couple of days ago.

Today I checked to see if the issue was still there. It's not.
There was a new version of the app installed on the iPhone last night. Must have fixed the bug.

This bug is still present, at least in my German localized iPhone app.
The app version is 2.8.0.14, and there hasn't been an update in a very long time.

Could you please fix this? It really is annoying, I want to add comments with my iPhone and not having to turn on my computer. :(

I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble with the HTML coding in comments. This issue was resolved in the 2.12.1 update that was released on May 6, 2015. Which iPhone do you use, and what version of iOS are you running? I'd like to help you get this resolved.
