[Eco Bounty] Broken "Blog" Link in ioPay Side Menu

1. Summary

The "Blog" link in the ioPay side menu redirects to a "404 | This page could not be found" error. The link is likely pointing to a deprecated URL or an incorrectly formatted path.

2. Impact

• User Friction: Prevents users from accessing official announcements, security updates, and ecosystem news directly from the app.

• Brand Trust: Encountering 404 errors within a financial/crypto app can diminish user confidence in the platform’s maintenance and reliability.

• Engagement Loss: Significant drop in traffic to IoTeX marketing content and community educational materials.

3. Steps to Reproduce

1. Launch the ioPay.me.

2. Open the side navigation menu.

3. Tap the "Blog" menu item.

4. Observe the 404 error page in the webview.

4. Actual vs. Expected Result

• Expected: Opens https://iotex.io/blog (or the relevant active blog URL).

• Actual: Displays a 404 error screen.

5. Fix Suggestions

Immediate Technical Fix (Backend/Config)

• URL Update: Verify the current hardcoded URL in the app’s navigation config. If the blog has moved (e.g., from a subdomain like blog.iotex.io to a path like iotex.io/blog), update the source string.

• Server-Side Redirect: If the old URL is still receiving traffic, implement a 301 Permanent Redirect on the web server to point all "old blog" traffic to the new destination.

Long-Term UI Resilience

• Remote Config: Move menu URLs to a remote configuration file (like Firebase Remote Config) rather than hardcoding them in the binary. This allows the team to fix broken links instantly without requiring a full app store update.

• Fallback Logic: Implement a "Check for Updates" or a default homepage fallback if a 404 status code is detected within the internal browser.
