Connect to AppLoader leads to "invalid json" message

Hi,
I have a similar problem as described in post "Unable to upload or remove apps from Bangle JS 2. Invalid JSON".

With my phone I barely can connect to the AppLoader at all. Every time I get the error "invalid json".
The error occurs with the Bangle.js GadgetBridge app and the AppLoader in Chrome.
I have tried everything, disconnect and reconnect Bluetooth, reload app, reboot watch, reboot phone, factory reset, ...

Finally I found a working but very unsatisfying solution. I have to pair the watch with the phone, disconnect of course. Then I can connect to the AppLoader without any problems. After that, I have to remove the pairing, otherwise the phone will always connect to the watch automatically.

How to further analyze the error? Is there any way to debug or view logs?

Looks like you did this already, but best to comment on the original post at http://forum.espruino.com/conversations/377121/ as we're trying to debug it on that

The other topic seemed to go in a different direction, so I opened this one. Turned out differently now though. So this one could be closed.

I get the message from time to time. I can fix that by stopping Gadgetbridge via Android App Properties and opening it again.

You can close Gadgetbridge quickly through ≡ > Quit
