[Bug] Compose calendar event URLs do not open the compose dialog on mobile

[RichieMcCaff]

So taking the following link: https://outlook.cloud.microsoft/owa?path=calendar/action/compose&rru=addevent&subject=test&body=test

On mobile devices it will open outlook and the the compose dialog will not open.

We used to use the deeplink url but had to switch to the above as it has a bug where it ends with a blank screen as described here

I understand this may not be the right place to raise this bug as I don't see the connection with teams-js but I've raised it in a few other places and some of our internal contacts in MS said to raise it here.

@RichieMcCaff - Could you clarify what document you're referring to get the link?

The action/compose link?

I reached out to the mobile OWA team and they have fixed this issue and will start rolling out the change worldwide next week. I'll report back here when it is fully available and you can verify it.
