About Section Incorrectly Formatted in Teams App in Mobile Devices

Question

Hi Team,

We are using custom formatting for long description in manifest schema for our Teams App. For which we are following formatting based on markdown rules. Please refer below sample text for the same.

 "description": {

    "short": "Short Description",

    "full": "Example of Long Description \n\n**Some Bold Text**\n Text \n\n**More Bold Text**\n Description of the App \n \n**Prerequisites**\n List with items \n1.List Item 1\n2. List Item 2 \n3.List Item 3\n\n Get More Information Text for the App [Application Name](Application Link)."

  },	

As shown as in the sample text we have used custom formatting and added some bold text, list items and hyperlinks in the long description for the App. This formatting is reflected correctly in about section and overview section in Teams App Web/Desktop. In Web/Desktop the text marked in Some Bold Text is showing as Bold text and the text added with hyperlink is also shown as link and pointing correctly to the link which is written in brackets E.g: [Application Link]

However when we check the about and overview section in Mobile, we can see that custom formatting is not reflecting and character used for formatting are displayed as text in the about section. Instead of showing text as bold and hyperlinks. About section in mobile shows the text with formatting characters as below. Is there a way to have custom formatting in Teams App Mobile About Section.

			Example of Long Description \n\n**Some Bold Text**\n Text \n\n**More Bold Text**\n Description of the App \n \n**Prerequisites**\n List with items \n1.List Item 1\n2. List Item 2 \n3.List Item 3\n\n Get More Information Text for the App [Application Name](Application Link).
