How to open the orders page (with filtering) from my app within Shopify's iOS mobile app?

Hi there,

One of my app’s functionalities is to redirect to the orders page with certain filters applied. This works perfectly well on the browser where I use the app-bridge functionality as follows:

Redirect.create(app).dispatch(Redirect.Action.ADMIN_PATH, "/orders?query=tag:example")

However, this only works when using the app in a browser. When the app is used via the Shopify mobile app, I have to use the open function:

window.open("https://mystore.myshopify.com/admin/orders?query=tag:example")

This used to work perfectly. It opens Shopify’s orders page on top of my app and provides a seamless experience.

The problem is that this suddenly stopped working properly about a week ago. It still opens the orders page. However, the “query” parameter is now completely ignored. The order’s page appears without filtering and this causes major operational issues for my customers.

The issue was observed on the iOS Shopify app on iPhone and iPad. It seems to follow a UI update… I noticed the UI looks a bit different.

Has anyone encountered the same issue? Is there a workaround for it?

Many thanks,

Sylvain
