I created a url for a new issue to prefill some fields by following the docs here: https://docs.github.com/en/issues/tracking-your-work-with-issues/creating-an-issue#creating-an-issue-from-a-url-query . However, if such a link is clicked on mobile and the GitHub app is also installed, it will prompt to select an issue template first (even if no template issues exist on the repository) and then none of the "prefilled fields" specified in the url will be carried over to the new issue form.
Example: on mobile (with the GitHub app installed) click this url: https://github.com/derekantrican/readdit/issues/new?title=New+bug+report&body=Describe+the+problem
Expected result: the GitHub app opens with the Title field prefilled with "New bug report" and the Description field prefilled with "Describe the problem"
Actual result: the GitHub app opens and prompts to select an issue template (even though none is present in the repository). After selecting "No template" the "Create Issue" window opens but all fields are blank
