Answer 1

This is happening because you are using includes method on string in your js file, which is supported in latest JavaScript Version ECMAScript 6 and android kitkat webview doesn't support this version.

You need to make use of indexOf instead includes

var str = "Hello world, welcome to the universe.";

var n = str.includes("world");
# Replace above line of code and use indexOf. 

var n = str.indexOf("world") > -1;
