SSID containing ampersand & can't be set

As discussed in this thread

Android app does not correctly set the WiFi credentials when containing certain characters (e.g. ampersand &).
Setting the credentials via CLI works just fine, but when set via Android App the device just can't connect.

Was the Android app ever sorted? My ssid is '-'@ everything was ok with except the photon so I stuck it on a guest network.

Thanks.
