Question

i’m trying to send the iOS device name along with the deviceToken to my server in didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken.. my device has an apostrophe in it and the request string shows as ….&name=John+Doe‚Äôs+iPhone …
I’ve tried replacing “‘” with “” and “‚Äô” with “” .. but neither fix it.. i assume i need to convert the encoding?

NSString *string = [[UIDevice currentDevice] name];
output-> John Doe’s iPhone

EDIT

output is from
NSLog(string);

You should never use NSLog with a user-provided string like that. NSLog expects a format string for its first argument. If it’s something containing a format specifier, it will probably crash your application, and may expose a security hole if provided by an untrusted source.

Your encoding issue appears to be a bug in LLDB. Switching to GDB fixes the problem.
