Adding apostrophe to app name broke my developer account

Adding apostrophe to app name broke my developer account

Hi from Sweden!  

 

I'm a student in computer science and engineering working on a side project which utilise the Spotify Web API. I think I have accidentally manage to brake my developer account by adding an apostrophe into the App name...

 

For my side project I created a new App with the name CustomizedRecommendations.

Not feeling happy with that name, I changed it to Sylve's App. 

 

After pressing save the website froze. I refreshed the website only to be greeted with the error message: 

 

Something went wrong, we were not able to get your apps. Try again later.

 

Looking at the console log I see that there are two error code: 401, 503

 

My theory is that the apostrophe cause some bug on the server side. If this is the case it seems like I'm out of luck since the site won't load for me to change it back...

 

I'm posting this here to raise the issue, if there is any, and hopefully get some insight into what caused this and if there is any fix. 

 

I'm great full for any contributions into this ! 

 

Finally I just want to add that my intentions were never to cause any damages and hopefully this bug isn't related to this...

EDIT: 

 

After having posted this I went back and everything is working as normal... 

Just needed to post it here for the programming gods to magically fix it... 

 

Excited to finally get started with this project! 🙂
