You were lucky with that?

I get the same error. Tried updating npm, ionic, app-scripts but still the same result.
It was giving issue with plugin earlier, updating app-scripts solved but now build fails with ‘codeGen’ property issue.

@feliperoan, did you get any solution on it?

Same error, did you find a solution?

I have the same issue. It happens when I run

ionic run android --prod

Post your output of ionic info and content of package.json please. Then maybe someone can try to understand what is going on.

I found a solution for me, the problem was that I use ionic storage, so I imported it into the providers as a class. As I showed in several places, what I did was remove it from the importation of services and I imported this,

 imports: [
     IonicModule.forRoot(MyApp),
    IonicStorageModule.forRoot()//here
  ],

Instead of:

providers: [Storage ]

This changed by the script versions as far as I know.
I was also calling methods and actions in my component outside of Platform.ready.

It is almost mandatory that all initialization of my app is there as some pugin do not load and there are errors, for example if you initialize a database with the sqlite plugin if it is not there, it will appear that the plugin is not installed-

 You have been opted out of telemetry. To change this, run: cordova telemetry on.

I solved this problem migrating my app to Ionic 3.0.1, this problem happens by a mismatch between ionic version and angular version, Angular version must be superior to version 2.3.x to work ok, you can take two paths:

  1. update everything to Ionic 3.0.1(Guide: How to update to Ionic 3.X )
  2. update angular version but be careful to use compatible versions.(https://github.com/driftyco/ionic/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md)
