Bummer. With the new Android platform AndroidAppV2 in T188431 we missed the opportunity to change the image field to image_url in Android.
I think when iOS comes up with something like this (iOSAppV2) we could at least change the value for type from donation to fundraising. We might also consider changing image_url to image for iOS so that both platforms are at least consistent. (Although I admit that I like image_url better.)

• type value should be fundraising. iOS expects donation

Is this (still) true? As far as I can tell, there's nothing relying on either one or the other in the iOS codebase. Personally I prefer fundraising.

No time like the present. I'll put in a quick Android patch.

Change 460862 had a related patch set uploaded (by Mholloway; owner: Mholloway):
[apps/android/wikipedia@master] Change serialized name of announcement imageUrl field to "image_url"

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/460862

@JMinor Could the iOS app easily be updated to handle HTML-formatted announcement card body text?

Please see also my question above (T153224#4587613) about the fundraising / donation announcement type.

@Mholloway the iOS app could be updated, but would be a somewhat significant undertaking due to the bugginess of iOS's built in HTML --> attributed string handling. Is there a limited set of HTML tags used or should it be able to handle pretty much any arbitrary HTML?

@JoeWalsh A limited set is all we need. We're not doing anything fancy, only basic formatting. The only tags we've used for Android to date are <b> and <br>.

I'll also note here another discrepancy I found after some git-spelunking, which is that the iOS app requires that the caption_HTML text be <p>-wrapped, while for Android it should not be. We should reconcile that, too.

We should be able to reconcile this while making changes for https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T204821

I have a work in progress patch that addresses the following:

• captionHTML no longer needs to be wrapped in a paragraph tag,
• <b><u><i> and <a> tags can be handled in the main text - should the naming of this property be message_HTML to match caption_HTML?
• image and image_url are both handled

I couldn't find anything indicating the app was dependent on type being donation instead of fundraising - @Mholloway was there something in particular you found that indicated that?

Also, for handling <br> tags, should any newline characters be ignored?

@bearND @Mholloway I ended up making some consolidation changes for the fundraising announcement to test with the iOS app locally, so I submitted a patch:

Feel free to reject if it's not the direction you were planning on going with it, but figured I'd put it up in case it was helpful.

Thanks!

I don't know how that was determined originally. When I looked a couple of months ago (and again now), as far as I can tell, the iOS app doesn't care about the announcement's type at all. I'll just be bold and update the description to remove this.
