Answer 1

i found the solution you have to install npm install react-native-url-polyfill and import "react-native-url-polyfill/auto" in your App.js

Marking commands and small snippets as "Code Sample" would make the answer easier to visually parse. Ex: Use command cd /home/user. – Overdo

Answer 2

You should use react-native-url-polyfill. It's a homemade polyfill to implement the URL API.

$ yarn add react-native-url-polyfill

or

$ npm install react-native-url-polyfill --save

At the top of your entry-point file (index.js), the polyfill will be automatically applied.

/**
 * @format
 */

import "react-native-url-polyfill/auto"
import {AppRegistry} from 'react-native';
import App from './App';
import {name as appName} from './app.json';

AppRegistry.registerComponent(appName, () => App);

Then just use the url api in any files without any import

    const _url = new URL(url)
    const params = _url.searchParams
    const routeName = _url.hostname
    ...

I hope it will help :)

I had to manually add import 'react-native-url-polyfill/auto'; at the top of index.js; and then it worked! – Guarantor
