[BUG] Login failed when getting reels and timeline: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

[solo-entrepreneurs]

This affects release 2.2.1 of instagrapi

How to reproduce:

from instagrapi import Client

cl = Client()
cl.login("xxx", "yyy")
cl.dump_settings("session.json")

# reload later without entering credentials again

(where xxx and yyy are the username and password of any normal instagram account that has existed for a while).

Traceback:

Swapping the order to

        check_flow.append(self.get_timeline_feed(["cold_start_fetch"]))        
        check_flow.append(self.get_reels_tray_feed("cold_start"))

in mixins/auth.py then leads to:

Recently logins fail due to the application version being too low. I fixed this by adjusting the data in instagrapi/instagrapi/mixins/auth.py
to reflect newer app version (lines 655 - 658):
self.device_settings = device or { "app_version": "416.0.0.47.66", "android_version": 33, "android_release": "13.0.0",

I got the same issue as well when I found out my automated script stopped working. Your fix works! Thanks!
