ViewsWhy is string.replaceAll() not a function on Android React Native?
I recently stumbled on this issue that, though ran well on iOS, could not run on Android, even though I use the same code base and run them in parallel.
Note that (number + '') always returns a string, and this code runs on iOS.
Trying the regex with the global flag "g":
string.replace(/searchString/g, replaceString)
like some suggested StackOverFlow answers does not work either.
Can you guys guess the reasons and provide solutions?

Alternative way to do this with the split and join functions.
string.split("searchString").join("replaceString");

replace method works perfectly in the latest React Native version. Please note you need to use string literals (`) instead of quotes (") for string variables.
string.replace(`/${searchString}/g`, replaceString);
Tested on the following React Native version:
react-native-cli: 2.0.1
react-native: 0.64.3
