Deferenced value assignment on iOS error

[Informate]

I have searched and made sure there are no existing issues for the issue I am filing

• I have searched the existing issues

Description

I have one object with some attributes nested in a UI.View, inside another UI.View.

obj={attribute1: 'Wrong value'};
view1.obj=obj;
view2.view1=view1;

I havean eventlistener on the view2 for touch events.

view2.addEventListener('touch_start',func1);

Inside the listener function I deference the objects into constants starting from the event source element.

function func1(e) {
 const view2=e.source,
   view1=view2.view1,
   obj=view1.obj;

Now if I update the obj attrbutes, for eample:

 obj.attribute1 = 'Correct value';

On Android the code works correctly, on iOS it not works!
When I call another funcion and dereference the obj again the changes are lost! ( I am using transpile = true )

  func2(view2);

It seems that the object is somewhere cloned in the const assigment process, loosing the reference in the original object but it happens only on iOS.

function func2(view2) {
 console.log(view2.view1.obj.attribute1);
}

Anyway there is an easy workaround to fix this problem. You can just do:

 if (!OS_ANDROID) view2.view1.obj=obj;

And everything will work also on iOS.

Expected Behavior

view2.view1.obj.attribute1 = 'Correct Value';

Actual behavior

view2.view1.obj.attribute1 = 'Wrong Value';
