Windows Phone URI association deep links and the ampersand
Read OriginalThis technical article details a specific bug in Windows Phone's URI association handling. It describes how Internet Explorer on Windows Phone incorrectly decodes and re-encodes ampersands (&) in query strings of custom deep links (e.g., my-app://), leading to corrupted parameter values when passed to an app. The author provides a workaround of avoiding ampersands in deep links due to this platform-level issue.
