Description
JSON parsing from a web API is handled differently on iOS and Android. Apparently the problem occurs when an API returns JSON code but no "application/json" content type declaration. See short example demonstrating the problem (and workaround) at [https://www.jasonbase.com/things/Wxzm.json](https://www.jasonbase.com/things/Wxzm.json)
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior with the JSON example at https://www.jasonbase.com/things/Wxzm.json, comparing responses with and without the application/json content type. Trace the Android API response parsing entry point and confirm that JSON is handled consistently when the content type is absent, while preserving the documented workaround behavior.
