Additional Information

This is a known limitation which is documented in both the official Survey123 for ArcGIS online documentation as well as a GeoNet Survey123 blog post. Only decimal degrees is supported for custom URL schemes as a valid coordinate format. https://doc.arcgis.com/en/survey123/reference/integratewithotherapps.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_2AC1CC413E4A4176850A9C3383C90827 See below point taken from documentation: Optionally, you can add coordinates to the URL, defining a location for a geopoint question in the survey. To do this, type ¢er=, and then type the coordinates. Type the latitude and then longitude coordinates in decimal degrees, separated by a single comma. You can optionally add altitude in decimal meters as a third value, also separated by a single comma. Custom URL scheme blog post: https://community.esri.com/groups/survey123/blog/2016/07/30/understanding-survey123s-custom-url-scheme See below note taken from blog post: The last parameter we pass in the example above is center=43.567,-117.380. This will set the location of geopoint questions in your survey at the provided coordinate pair. You must pass a latitude-longitude pair in decimal degrees separated by a comma as no other coordinate systems or formats are supported.

Workaround

Removing the first apostrophe in the coordinates fixes this behavior.
