It seems the input your parsing as JSON is XML now. Try logging it to check if it's a valid JSON or not. — Ravi K Thapliyal

I am guessing when you're making the request you're not setting the proper response accept type. as a result you get xml and sometimes json. — Saeid Farivar

i find the solution it's about apache server configuration

<Directory "/home/domain/www">
    Options +Indexes FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
    AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all **here you need to change deny from all to Allow from all**
</Directory>

Another solution for those who didn't find it yet:

My device was connected to VPN while trying to connect to outter address, so I didn't get JSON, but a webpage saying that firewall blocked my attempt (VPNs firewall).

So if you're certain that your php file returns valid JSON, check your StringBuilders response, it might be some error or warning accessing the location.
