Solution 1

I also have similar type of error, Be make sure that the argument of .decode method shouldn't be empty object. Instead of using this line:

var body = json.decode(response.body);

Try

if(response.body.isNotEmpty) {
    json.decode(response.body);
}

Do try this, hope it will work for you.

Solution 2

Print your body and double check you aren't trying to decode an array rather than on object.
