iOS 18.3.1

BlinkRx app for iOS (version 2.0.1)

03/14/2025

Description:

Here's a less than optimal error message that is being displayed by an app called BlinkRx. This is an error message displayed below the password reset input box:

""JSON Parse error: Unrecognized token '<' - calling unknown""

This type of error message is obviously not very user friendly. 

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and launch the BlinkRx app for iOS (version 2.0.1)

2. From the "Sign in" page, select "Don't know your password?"

3. From the "Forgot your password?" page, enter in a bogus email address (example: "test@test.com")

4. Click on "Send reset instructions"

5. Note the error message: "JSON Parse error: Unrecognized token '<' - calling unknown"

Result: the password reset input box inside of the BlinkRx app for iOS displays an informative error message that is less than user friendly. This message is:  "JSON Parse error: Unrecognized token '<' - calling unknown"

Expected: An error message like, "JSON Parse error: Unrecognized token '<' - calling unknown"" should never appear in a iOS app

Download and launch the BlinkRx app for iOS...

Select "Don't know your password?"

Enter in a password (example: "test@test.com") and then select "Send reset instructions"

Error message of: "JSON Parse error: Unrecognized token '<' - calling unknown"
