6thStreet app for iOS: Certain characters crash the app!

iOS 13.4
6thStreet app for iOS (version 2.12.0)
Date: 03/30/20

Description:

Here's a bug that i've spotted with various iOS apps for the past several years. This particular bug is crash that happens when the user runs certain searches for certain characters. This is happening with an app called 6thStreet.com.

This is basically the same bug that's been happening with the Yelp app for iOS for years.

Here's the basics: certain characters simply crash the app. I understand that this is a mySQL database problem - but, an iOS app in 2020 should be able to handle these characters without crashing.

Characters such as [ * + \ ? all crash the app.

Here's the crash dump:



Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and launch the 6thStreet app for iOS
2. Select a county to main homepage
3. Select the "Brands" option
4. Click inside the search box that says: "What are you looking for?"
5. Enter in characters like: [ * + \ ?

Result: Characters like [ * + \ ? crash the 6thStreet iOS app

Expected: Characters like [ * + \ ? should not crash the 6thStreet iOS app

Download and launch the 6thStreet app...

Select the brands option...

Enter in [ * + \ ?
