react-native: com.facebook.react.common.JavascriptException: Can't find variable: Intl

I have reviewed the documentation
I have searched existing issues
I am using the latest React Native version

My debug builds are working perfectly fine, however, when trying to use a production build, the apk(Android) crashes with this error: com.facebook.react.common.JavascriptException: Can't find variable: Intl, stack:

Here’s the full stack trace:

This will actually be fully supported in 0.60 through https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/24276 which adds a build flag to swap out JSC for Android.

@cpojer

This should definitely be fixed with 0.59 and the latest JSC.

I’m almost certain that 0.59 uses the non-international variant of the JSC, which means that this is still an issue. Using the International variant was discussed shortly here but there’s no record of the final decision.

Maybe it’s worth to consider adding a gradle flag (addInternationalSupport) for users that need the Intl features (I believe it’s quite common in mobile apps)?
