Description

The following line (alone) will crash the BlackBerry simulator if the property cannot be found. (In this case, the property name is "Credentials".) var storedCredentials = JSON.parse(Ti.App.Properties.getString("Credentials")); However, if we set the property/value pair using setString() and then try getString(), everything works fine. For example, this will work:

// Build json string
oCredentials = new Object();
oCredentials.username = "some username";
oCredentials.password = "some password";
var stringCredentials = JSON.stringify(oCredentials);
				
// Save credentials
Ti.App.Properties.setString("Credentials", stringCredentials);

// Read the credentials
var storedCredentials = JSON.parse(Ti.App.Properties.getString("Credentials"));

I do not see a crash, I see message

   Unexpected token u

This appears when trying to JSON.stringify an undefined value. Same thing happens in a node.js console:

   > JSON.parse(undefined)
   SyntaxError: Unexpected token u

Closing ticket as BlackBerry is no longer supported by us.
