Can't find variable: BigInt64Array in Safari

Just recently my Angular 8 web app stopped working on Safari (stuck on index.html page). It is throwing an error in the debugger stating : Can't find variable: BigInt64Array I have not upgraded anything through npm so I'm not sure why this suddenly started happening. I tried changing my target to "ES5" from "es2015" in tsconfig.js. I also added Safari >= 10 to my browerlist but no luck. Any ideas? Thanks!

Solution

  • Turns out "deep-copy-ts": "^0.5.0", was the issue. This package requires BigInt64Array and was the breaking change on Safari. Once removed it starting working.
