Parse PFCloud – “JSON text did not start with array or object”

This article details a common issue when migrating to a self-hosted Parse Server, where a PFCloud function call fails with a JSON parsing error. The error occurs because the URL in the ParseClientConfiguration is missing the '/parse' endpoint, causing the server to return a non-JSON response. The author explains how to fix this by ensuring the full URL is set correctly, providing a code example in Swift. This is a technical troubleshooting guide for developers working with Parse Server and iOS development.
