Are you testing on debug without remote debugging enabled? Because then you are using Chrome to run JS code.

@radko93 debug JS remotely is enabled. And this same format was working previously in production before Hermes.

export function getDateFormat(date = 'Jul 18, 2018' ) {
const newDate = new Date(date);
return newDate;
}

I'd recommend looking at using Moment.js. JavaScript engines differ in how they treat Date objects: https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/get-to-know-different-javascript-environments-in-react-native-4951c15d61f5/

@roydipti23 Chrome treats dates differently than Hermes. If you want to test in debug mode turn off remote Chrome debugging.

@roydipti23 try using moment js for the same

I'm seeing this also. A date in ISO format like Fri, 06 Sep 2019 18:45:29 +0000 (UTC) parses as an Invalid Date in Hermes. It works on iOS and was working in Android in 0.59. I am now using Moment as a workaround but this should be supported natively.
