We're sending marketing SMS that have a URL in them, it's formatted like this:
https://hostname/route?token=VBQTkrri7cBPm_EQ_flpnw&source_channel=sms&utm_source=sms
The link works on Android and ios pre 11. But on 11 it displays as text. Is there something wrong with the URL?
Also, we were using bit.ly but our client can't afford to upgrade their account so for the last week of every month they send long urls once they exceed their limit for whatever plan they're on.
We were including offer value details, with a dollar sign. And apparently the dollar sign confuses some new feature where you can text people money. Removing the dollar sign fixes it.

Is there any way to create a link to open a specific message in Gmail or SuperHuman on iOS?
For Gmail I've found the scheme googlegmail:///cv=13eafcee7cc82901/accountId=1&create-new-tab, however I have no idea where to find such id. As the id that is now used in the web client is 64 characters long and not hexadecimal. Also, there are no mentions on how to control the account, as one typically will have the account address not the number.
There are also reports saying that this no longer works, but an article written some months ago still claims the scheme works.
For SuperHuman I have not found anything, as it not yet not publicly available.
For the stock email app one can use message://<insert_your_message_id#here.com>.
For Superhuman, the answer is Cmd+K and type in Copy Page Link. The link will be copied to the clipboard. Alternatively, Ctrl+/ will do the same thing.
There is an answer over at https://webapps.stackexchange.com answer. The short of it to use the rfc822msgid: operator.
Is hyphen allowed in app name in iTunesConnect?
For example : abcd - efgh
I searched in google found the link https://developer.apple.com/library/content/qa/qa1892/_index.html,
No where they mentioned whether hyphen(-) allowed as app name in itunes?
It is allowed.. You can enter A-Za-z0-9.-_ (those are the only ones I've tried). However, if you abuse it, Apple can reject the app. Example: Foo___Bar can get rejected. I'm not sure if they allow consecutive characters that are not A-Za-z.
It also depends on the AppStore you submit to. They allow Chinese, Japanese, etc.
You can have AppNames like:
"StackOverflow.com", "Foo.ca", "Scotia-Bank", "Meh_Bar", "Food-Noob.ca", etc..
Note: I do not have an official citation for this. This is just from what I have submitted.
According to their documentation, Mandrill will not add click tracking to links if they are too long:
Some internet browsers and email clients break links that are over a certain length. If Mandrill detects that adding tracking information could create links too long for these email programs and browsers, tracking data won't be added
However, they do not specify what the length is.
Does anyone know what the maximum length allowed is?
According to this tweet from #mandrillapp,
URLs longer than 255 bytes won't have click tracking applied.
As a new feature in iOS 8, the Mail app will now display a dialog at the top of the screen with the contact information that is automatically pulled from within the email (generally the signature of the sender). A quick example of this feature is posted below (taken from Ars Technica's iOS 8 review available here):
After looking several emails with a variety of different email signatures, it seems that this feature has rather narrow requirements in order for the information to be successful extracted. Does anyone know what these restrictions are or how to format a signature so that it will always be picked up by Mail?
the Visitor Loyalty numbers for the iOS Google Analytics seem to be wrong (at least in my case). According the numbers the app is visited only 1 or 2 times. Never more than 2. This made no sense to me so I created a new account using Google's example app, same results.
Now the question remains: is this a known issue, do you guys also have problems with Visitor Loyalty numbers with the use of the iOS GA sdk or am I missing something here? Are the cookies overwritten or deleted after the second time? All the other results are okay (also the absolute unique visitors) so the cookies don't seem to be the problem..
(btw with the Android sdk I don't have these problems)
Google say:
Unique Visitors represents the number of unduplicated (counted only once) visitors to your website over the course of a specified time period. A Unique Visitor is determined using cookies.
So every time you re-install your app on device or simulator, a new unique visitor will be detected.
