Receiving NPM err: Unexpected string in JSON at position 20938 within an ionic 3 project
Not sure where the error is. (* is where private project information is held, i.e. Facebook app id and the app name) I have been receiving this error for a while now and I can't figure it out, is there something I'm missing?

Or could this be an error with my node or NPM? It would be nice to have some fresh eyes to have a look
Answer
Run the command 'rm package-lock.json', then re-ran 'npm install' and everything worked :)
