When you configure an issuer with a space or other special character, the Google Authenticator app in iOS , claims the generated QR code is invalid. This is because the issuer is not URL encoded. URL encoding is mandatory according to: https://github.com/google/google-authenticator/wiki/Key-Uri-Format

The attached patch fixes it for me.
