As this should / would only affect 8.5+, just means that the app in 
question has to be stuck at 8.4 or fix the code.  Since, as David points 
out, this 'hack' has been in there since 8.1, I think we've given the app 
in question more then sufficient time to fix their code already, no?  3 
years, or so?
