Hi @Development_Account , it seems like our server sent malformed json as a response. Can you provide some info so we can reproduce it on our end? What method did you call? What parameters did you pass? Also having the logs filtered with “SendBird” would help. Sorry for the trouble and we will try our best to help you solve the issue. ---

We are calling below mentioned method ```auto BaseChannel.class public FileMessage sendFileMessage() {} ``` we are passing below properties ```auto File file, String name, String type, int size, String data, String customType, List thumbnailSizes, BaseChannel.SendFileMessageWithProgressHandler handler ``` **SDK Version:-** sendbird-android-sdk:3.0.171 ---

@Development_Account Thank you for the reply. We tested the above method internally but we were unable to reproduce the issue. We can try other ways but this would need some more info that I cannot gather for now. Could you please contact our support team (solutions engineers) so that we can help you debug further? Please tell them my name - `Cheolho Jeon` and link to here so that we could accelerate the process. ---
