iOS: Automatic encoded URL translation in String type field in ConnectIQ App parameters

Hi,

In Connect IQ parameters of an app using Connect IQ iOS, in a String type field, every time i put a string containing something like %<valid hex code> (i.e. %2b), string is automatically URL encoded when saved meaning impossible to keep %2b string in the original string

i would not like to save an URL but a normal string

Are there any solution to solve this ?

In the simulator the behavior in the one expected (original string is kept)

Thanks,

I don't have a solution for this, but I will point out that years ago, Connect IQ settings would not accept characters like "+", ">" or "<". (Entering any of those characters would cause unexpected behavior -- it wasn't the case that they were being filtered out on purpose).

I guess if it's just for personal use, you could try URL-encoding your settings value.

e.g. "%21" => "%2521"

That wouldn't be very helpful if you have end users who need this, tho.
