Status:Duplicate Resolved:
Product:iOS Product Version:10
Classification: Reproducible:Yes
 
Summary:
Users are provided UUIDs to identify them to iMessage apps. These UUIDs can be converted to the user's name on sending a message, using an appropriately formatted string.

I've tried it in parts of the layout, and the change description, to no avail.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new iMessage app
2. Create a message that uses the localParticipantIdentifier in one of the layout fields, or the change description, like this:

`"$\(conversation.localParticipantIdentifier.uuidString) Guess my WenderPic!"`


Expected Results:
The UUID should be substituted with the appropriate user's name.

Actual Results:
It isn't. The UUID is left as-is (see attached image)

Version:
Version 8.0 beta (8S128d)
