JSON Parse Error: Unexpected Identifier "undefined" in Titanium-based iOS Application

Question

I am facing an issue while running my Titanium-based iOS application (version 4.4.05) on Titanium SDK 12.1.2.1e3a7d3afb. The app is unable to load the index.json file, which leads to a "SyntaxError: JSON Parse error: Unexpected identifier 'undefined'" during the JSON parsing process.

Reading stylesheet from: /private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/05C15C26-F859-4066-9F91-C4F956FC95F9/Advisor.app/stylesheet.plist

Checked the existence of index.json file in the expected location: /private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/05C15C26-F859-4066-9F91-C4F956FC95F9/Advisor.app/. The file seems to be present.

Verified file permissions and access rights to ensure the application can read the file.

Reviewed the code that attempts to load and parse index.json to ensure it handles cases where the file may not be found or contains unexpected data gracefully.

Examined preceding logs and error messages to gather additional context, but no relevant information was found.
