I cannot edit an app's details.
I get the message
It is not a communication problem. I can edit the details of other apps. Even if I make no changes and press submit the error appears.
Anyone have any hints?
what does the json response of the 1st request that returns 403 look like?
It's actually not a JSON response, it's our favourite cloudflare error (as html).
The reason the console displays an uncaught error about invalid json is because there's some javascript that's trying to parse the html response as json (presumably so it can display a user-friendly error). To be clear, it's apparent that the server would *normally* return JSON in a standard error situation (presumably containing a user-friendly error), but in this case, the cloudflare protection overrides/preempts the normal server response, and its human-readable HTML response is not what the front-end javascript code was expecting.
You can actually kinda see that in the screenshot that was provided. [Note that the message shows data starting with "<!DOCTYPE html>" followed by additional markup.]
The cloudflare error message looks like this in the firefox network tab.
If I had to guess, I would say it's the same (or similar) root cause as the super fun forum problems where seeemingly "random" combos of text in a post/comment will be rejected. To me this makes this type of problem even more annoying because Garmin is absolutely aware of it by now [in the context of the forums].
Not just that, but in the context of the forums, this problem also happened years ago on the old forum platform, with even greater severity than it did this time around.
So not only should they be aware of the problems in recent months, they should also be aware of a similar problem from years ago (which has come back in a different form.)
I can recreate the problem easily with a beta app of mine. All I have to do is set both Description and What's New to the English text from of the same sections of that app. I did not try other languages.
I was able to fix the problem (for me) by changing the following text in What's New (see bold text).
Original text:
Version 0.11.0
PRO Version only changes: Prevented possible crash if User Id setting is blank. Changed display of latest sleep data & HRV to only show data the previous night or 2 nights prior if sleep has not ended for the currrent day.

Not that it matters, but in the old forum platform, we also had intermittent problems with typing a number as a digit or digits which could be resolved by spelling it out.
