Regression bug: Connect IQ Store version 2.12 (Android) characters | () {} don't working anymore

With Connect IQ Store version 2.12 on Android (I don't have an iPhone to test the iOS version) characters < > { } ( ) and | (there may be more) are removed from a string application setting upon saving, where with version 2.11 they weren't removed. In case a user upgraded from 2.11 to 2.12 and then tries to open the application settings page for an application that has one of the mentioned characters inside one of the settings, the following text is displayed: "Connection Error We had a problem loading settings for this device."

I forgot to mention that also characters "<" and ">" still don't work, most likely is the same also on iOS.

I can confirm that the same behavior is also on Android with version 2.12.1, all characters are working except "|".

I spoke too soon. It seems that "(", ")", "{", and "}" work now (in iOS Connect IQ), but "|" still does not.

I'm happy to see that the issue was partially resolved, as at least it means that Garmin agrees this is a bug and not intended behavior.

This issue seems to be resolved on iOS now. I can't speak for Android, tho.
