I’m already doing downloads in my app using NSURLSession so I used my existing code to download and decode the data returned by the URL below and didn’t get an error. I am building against iOS 7.1 and I tried it out in the simulator.
Doing a brief search, it seems like when others are running into this error, they’re working with JSON data that really does have garbage at the end. Is it possible that you’re doing something like appending a null terminator or something else non-printable so that when you look at the data then it all seems OK?
