iOS Safari: ARQL truncates canonicalWebPageURL when it contains encoded query parameters

[milesgreen]

Description

When passing canonicalWebPageURL to ARQL as part of the USDZ file path, if the canonicalWebPageURL contains multiple query parameters as part of the URL, even when URI encoded, ARQL will truncate the shared URL down to just the first parameter, when clicking on the Share button from within the ARQL session.

For example, when giving a USDZ a path of:

https://example.com/example.usdz#canonicalWebPageURL=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2F%3Ffoo%3D111%26bar%3D222

The shared URL will get truncated down to:

https://example.com/?foo=111

Rather than:

https://example.com/?foo=111&bar=222

This makes it not possible to specify a canonicalWebPageURL containing multiple query string parameters.

This does work in iOS Chrome and canonicalWebPageURL can contain multiple encoded query parameters. So it appears to be an issue somewhere with Safari hand off to QuickLook, rather than QuickLook itself?

Live Demo

• Visit: https://usdz-params.glitch.me/
• Scroll to "6. Complex Share URL".
• Tap the image to launch ARQL.
• Model opens in ARQL.
• Tap the Share button.
• Copy the shared URL.
• Observe the shared URL is truncated. It should be https://example.com/?foo=111&bar=222&spam=333&eggs=444 but is only copied as https://example.com/?foo=111

canonicalWebPageURL share links with multiple query parameters get truncated when shared.

Fails in iOS Safari. Works in iOS Chrome.

Repro:

• Visit: https://arquicklook-usdz-params.glitch.me
• Set the ‘Share Link’ dropdown option to ‘Complex Share Link’
• This will update the USDZ link above.
• Observe in the Code Preview showing canonicalWebPageURL set with an encoded URL with 4 query parameters.
• Tap the USDZ link to launch ARQL.
• Model opens in ARQL.
• Tap the Share button at top right.
• Copy the shared URL and paste back into Safari.
• Observe the shared URL is truncated. It should be:

https://arquicklook-usdz-params.glitch.me/share.html?foo=1111&bar=2222&spam=3333&eggs=4444

But is only shared as:

https://arquicklook-usdz-params.glitch.me/share.html?foo=1111

@AdaRoseCannon - this one is still an issue with iOS 18.0 beta. canonicalWebPageURL gets truncated when multiple query params are present.
