Description

Screenshot

See screenshot. I guess this is because it goes to Special:BookSources, and special pages don't "exist" according to the mobile app?

Changed title to describe the problem more accurately.

Should we just bump these to the browser?

@Legoktm can you confirm this is an issue for the current iOS app? The screen shot is for the app that is no longer available for download?

It now shows an error: "The operation couldn't be completed. (ArticleFetcher error 666.)"

@JMinor Should this be fixed as a new bug?

Etonkovidova moved this task from Needs QA to Ready for PM Signoff on the Wikipedia-iOS-App-Development board.Dec 5 2015, 3:02 AM

@Etonkovidova this isn;t so much as bug, as an unsupported feature that is still "broken" in 5.0, even if the error messages have been removed. I will move it back to PM backlog, since we need to spec out the better expected behavior.
