Hi there,
Since I upgraded to iOS 14.6 I have noticed that mailto urls no longer format line breaks correctly in default iOS mail application
eg: mailto:john@xxcom?subject=test&body=name%0D%0Aemail
Result in iOS 14.6 mail app (body)
name<BR>email
Result in previous iOS versions mail app (body)
name
Is there any work around or solution to this issue?
I submitted a feedback also today.
Same. Knowing apple I doubt it will make any different.
I submitted it also today, this is quite frustrating.
am also facing this issue. initially found issue in iOS 14.6 on my iPad. After upgrading to 14.7.1 issue still exists. Please help me if anyone have workaround on this.
Dear Apple, please undo this change and conform to RFC standards. I don't understand how this is a security improvement. Thank you.
I had to create a login in this Forum just to join this thread. Seriously, this has to be considered a bug rather than a "feature". I'm very sure that thousands of apps use pre-filled t mailto urls using line breaks. If you're going to change all the standards on how you'll accept url linking from now on, at least take your time to document it or offer a workaround for developers that depend on it, now we're all with our hands tied scraping hopelessly at this thread for workarounds.
Just made an account to say the same thing. Please, please, please Apple, this needs to be fixed. This is clearly a bug that's causing a lot more harm than it's theoretically trying to prevent and this thread is proof of it. Unbelievable.
Hey Guys, it seems it has been solved. I have received this email from Apple. I did not check yet though and I cannot check this morning. Try on your side ;-)
Thanks @Scott J for having prepared the feedback. United we stand !..
Hi Mike,
As a result of your feedback, there are software changes in the latest update, build 19A5318f, that have resolved this issue. You can see the software build your device is running and check for the latest update by tapping on Settings > General > Software Update.
Has this issue been resolved after installing the latest update? If not, please file a new feedback report.
Feedback ID FB9383355, mailto URL scheme no longer supports line breaks
Do not reply to this email.
I can confirm iOS15 beta 5 no longer inserts <br> instead of newlines.
Sounds like we made a big enough blip on the radar to get this issue recognized and fixed. This is great news.
The latests released build is 14.7.1 if I'm not mistaken and that version doesn't have this fix. Very annoying!!
iOS 15 does remove the BR codes on the iPhone.
Hi.. In UK. Using iPhone 7. Can't upgrade to iOS15
If anyone else is struggling, my work around is to use the Outlook Mail App as default Mail. Works as it should do.
This is still not fixed?
I spent a couple hours trying to debug this thinking it was my fault.
I believe this is fixed in iOS 15.0+ (after being first broken iOS 14.6). Just double check the version you're debugging.
@tkerridge iPhone XS running (latest) iOS 15.5, is still broken.
I'm still running into this issue testing on iOS 15.6.1.
Can anyone confirm it's working for them on iOS 15?
Nevermind - apparently if you use "\n" for a line break in iOS 15 it DOES work, for anyone dealing with that.
I was still trying to use "%0D%0A" which apparently does not work.
