 * Anyone having the following API errors and know how to fix? It’s preventing articles
   to publish to my Apple News channel.
 * 1) THE FOLLOWING JSON ERRORS WERE DETECTED AND PREVENTED PUBLISHING: INVALID 
   UNICODE CHARACTER SEQUENCES WERE FOUND THAT COULD CAUSE DISPLAY ISSUES ON APPLE
   NEWS: …”
 * Many of my articles have ellipsis so I am hoping there is a workaround.
 * 2) THERE HAS BEEN AN ERROR WITH THE API: THERE HAS BEEN AN ERROR WITH YOUR REQUEST:
   CURL ERROR 28: OPERATION TIMED OUT AFTER 30001 MILLISECONDS WITH 0 OUT OF -1 
   BYTES RECEIVED
 * This is happening on several of my articles 🙁
 * Thanks in advance!

 * I can confirm timeouts over the past week or so – not always but a lot. Wondering
   if it’s at Apple’s end?
 * I also have formatting errors that weren’t there before – extra spaces between
   paragraphs. I’ve seen this on other website’s feeds.

 * For #1, that looks like a bug within the plugin, where the combination of two
   unicode characters in a row (ellipsis and right double quote), are getting captured
   and flagged as an indication of a problem (even though a problem is not actually
   present). I’ve filed an issue on GitHub to track a fix: [https://github.com/alleyinteractive/apple-news/issues/458](https://github.com/alleyinteractive/apple-news/issues/458).
   In the meantime, you can change the plugin settings for JSON Alerts from “fail”
   to “warn” – that way the JSON error will not prevent the publishing of your post
   to Apple News.
 * For #2, the cause of the timeout definitely could be on Apple’s end. Unfortunately
   there’s nothing we can do about that with regards to the plugin; although I do
   suggest using the “Remote Images” setting within the plugin if you aren’t already,
   particularly if you’re noticing the timeouts are happening on image-heavy posts.
