Parsing error and hence deployment failing

Description

While deploying an application to cloud foundry I get the below error
Caused by: com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParseException: Unexpected character (':' (code 58)): was expecting double-quote to start field name

Not sure what is causing the : to appear in the app-content-digest.
Kindly help trouble shoot the same.

Your environment

• MultiApps Controller version -
• MultiApps CF CLI Plugin version -
• which CF vendor is used -
• which backing services are used -

Steps to reproduce

Tell us how to reproduce this issue.
Create GIST(s) which is copy of your deployment and extension descriptor and link here (if applicable)

Additional information

If you operate your own MultiApps Controller, provide all application logs. Create a GIST(s) which contains the logs. Please refrain of copying full logs here because it will make the issue hard to read.

If an multi-target app operation fails, download logs of the operation and provide them as a GIST(s). For more details, see download-mta-op-logs / dmol command provided by CF MTA Plugin. The most important log file is MAIN_LOG.

Hi @vidhyaan , Could you please provide details about used environment.
Did you bring up by yourself multiapps-controller backend?
This error seems to be related with parsing application environment metadata related with mta deployment. It looks like someone edit application environment manually.
