Hi Shopifiers and Shopify Employees,
I've noticed that over the weekend there were some changes to the Embedded App SDK that broke our app:
1. Embedded app URL containing spaces or certain characters in parameters are causing an error on the embedded app page. For example, the url "https://shop-name.myshopify.com/admin/apps/app-name/page?param=foo%20bar¶ms[0]=foo" causes the following error: "It appears that an error has occured. We're currently looking into the problem. In the meantime, you can contact support for updates." . This was working fine before the weekend.
2. Calculation of signature now takes into account every single parameter, instead of just "code", "timestamp", "shop". With the same url in #1 above, the signature calculation takes into account "param=foo%20bar", which is correct according to the 'Verification' section here, but was not the case before this weekend (it only took into account code, timestamp and shop in the signature calculations regardless of other parameters).
I understand #2 was probably a fix to make it consistent with the API docs, but it would have been nice if there was a memo that went out regarding the changes.. As for #1, it's causing some real issues and I believe it might have been related to signature calculation changes.
Are there others out there that are seeing these issues with the embedded app sdk this weekend?
