Please, explain whether it's a build time error or a runtime error. More detailed logs can be easily obtained by following the instructions in this guide: https://docs.nativescript.org/get-support#how-to-obtain-diagnostic-reports. --\u003e\r\nNativescript has different casting rules compared to browser javascript. (at least in timer.setTimeout and timer.setInterval functions).\r\n\r\n**To Reproduce**\r\n\u003c!-- Add commands used or steps taken to reproduce the behaviour. --\u003e\r\n```\r\nsetTimeout(() =\u003e console.log(\"Hello\"), false);\r\n``` \r\nFails in nativescript, but suceeds in js.\r\n\r\n**Expected behavior**\r\nCasting rules should be the same.\r\n\r\n**Sample project**\r\n\u003c!-- If possible, provide a link from the [Playground](https://play.nativescript.org) with reproduction of the problem. If not, consider attaching a sample project or link to a repository with such project. --\u003e\r\n\r\n**Additional context**\r\n\u003c!-- Add any other context about the problem here. --\u003e\r\nMany libraries out there are using code like \r\n```\r\nsetTimeout(callback, false);\r\n```\r\nwhich fails and is usually hard to debug. Was bitten by `redux-perist` lib.\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cbountysource-plugin\u003e\r\n\r\n---\r\nWant to back this issue? **[Post a bounty on it!](https://www.bountysource.com/issues/77415766-different-casting-rules-in-settimeout-setinterval-in-nativescript?utm_campaign=plugin\u0026utm_content=tracker%2F12908224\u0026utm_medium=issues\u0026utm_source=github)** We accept bounties via [Bountysource](https://www.bountysource.com/?utm_campaign=plugin\u0026utm_content=tracker%2F12908224\u0026utm_medium=issues\u0026utm_source=github).\r\n\u003c/bountysource-plugin\u003e","author":{"url":"https://github.com/miiihi","@type":"Person","name":"miiihi"},"datePublished":"2019-07-22T15:49:10.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/7567/NativeScript/issues/7567"}
