No

Application.OpenURL does not work on macOS when the URL contains curly braces

-

How to reproduce:
1. Open the “Application.OpenURL bug report.zip“ project
2. Open the “scene“ Scene
3. Enter Play Mode and observe

Expected result: A web browser opens with the link “http://example.com/%7B%7D” in the search bar
Actual result: A web browser does not open

Reproducible in: 2023.1.0a1, 6000.0.55f1, 6000.2.0f1, 6000.3.0a4

Reproduced on: macOS 15.3
Not reproduced on: Windows 11 Pro, Linux (By the reporter)

Workaround: Use the designated encoded values instead of the curly braces - “%7B%7D“

Notes:
- %7B and %7D are curly braces “{}” but encoded
- The web browser will open if the link does not feature curly braces (other types of braces work, except “<>”)

  1. Resolution Note:

    URL passed to this function has to be valid, Unity does no sanitization for it.
    Curly braces are not valid and have to be escaped.
