iOS [SOLVED] HTTP Request Issues on iOS but not Android

Anyone have an idea why HTTP requests are no longer working on iOS?

I've got a highscore leaderboard system setup, which works fine on Android and used to work on iOS, but no longer does on iOS. I'm thinking it's most likely a setting that needs to be activated or a permission on Apple's end through Xcode or the developer website, but I haven't had any luck so far. (Using GM 1.4 and Xcode 9.3 / have tried Xcode 10.1 as well)

I managed to narrow it down to this error in Xcode: "Download Error : Unable to create request (bad url?)"

And it turns out the URL I was using to do a HTTP request picked up some whitespace in my code, but only caused an error in the iOS version.
(e.g. "https://www.example.com/games/ chamswing/etc" )

Getting rid of the whitespace in my code fixed the issue. :)

Interesting, never thought iOS would be alone in not forgiving that.

For future reference, if you intend to have spaces in a URL, the proper way is to use + or %20 in place of an actual space character.
