Hello, I am trying to connect my Arduino UNO R4 Wifi board using Arduino Cloud Agent but said program shows an error, could someone help me correct it?
I'm using MacOs Sonoma on a Macbook Pro M2.
The message sent to the console is the following:

Hi @jg_valdez_besares. The Arduino Create Agent developers are tracking the bug here:
I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. Work on a fix is already in progress.
I'll provide instructions you can follow to force Arduino Create Agent to regenerate this file that was corrupted due to the bug. Hopefully this time the file will be created correctly:
Thanks for the quick response and the steps to try and resolve the issue.
I followed the instructions and navigated to the .arduino-create folder (step 4), but I couldn't find the "sketch" folder within it. I'm wondering if there's anything else I can try or if this might indicate a different problem.
What made you think you were supposed to find a "sketch" folder within it? I never said anything like that.
Please carefully follow the instructions I provided. If there is something you don't understand or you get stuck along the way, just let me know and I'll help out.
I've resolved the issue. A malformed JSON file, specifically the "installed.json" file, was the root cause. The file contained an extra 'y' character that disrupted the JSON syntax. Using , I pinpointed the corrupted section (highlighted in red in the attached image) and removed it.
I have an update to share on this subject: The bug has been fixed and the fix is now released in version 1.6.1 of Arduino Cloud Agent. Arduino Cloud Agent will automatically self-update to the new version the next time you use Arduino Cloud while Arduino Cloud Agent is running.
So Arduino Cloud users will no longer be affected by this problem of the corrupted data file causing Cloud Agent to crash once the update has completed.
For anyone who is not able to accomplish the update due to 1.6.0 crashing from the corrupted file, you can manually install 1.6.1 (which will update 1.6.0). The installer can be downloaded from the links listed under the Assets section of the release page:
