After I updated Angular to version 17, it is giving this error when I compile

  • Building… X [ERROR] File ‘src\main.ts’ is missing from the TypeScript compilation. [plugin angular-compiler] Ensure the file is part of the TypeScript program via the ‘files’ or ‘include’ property. X [ERROR] File ‘src\polyfills.ts’ is missing from the TypeScript compilation.

I have the same error

FIXED: Add

“options”: {
“preserveSymlinks”: true,

In angular.json

By the way: why is Angular 17 even recommended at this early stage via the VS Ionic plugin? There are still too many dependencies on Angular 16.
