Date constructor behaves differently in debug mode

[ghost]

I've tried to create dates from string using new Date() constructor and it behaves differently in debug mode than in standard mode. For example, in debug mode I can create a date using
const date = new Date("2017-10-09 12:00:00")

In standard mode (without debug js remotely) I get Invalid Date in my const.

Looks like the constructor accepts more formats in debug.

Hi, by debug mode you probably mean remote debugging in Chrome? There are differences between the JS engines that are used by the simulator/device (JavaScriptCore) and by Chrome (V8). You can check the answer in this StackOverflow question. Another thing that I noticed is that you have one extra single quote there which would cause a syntax error:

const date = new Date("2017-10-09 12:00:00"'); // single quote after a closing double quote
