Ionic build failed. angularfire2 5.0.0-rc.3 error

Hi All,

I have probably looked and tried all topics related to failure of ionic cordova build --prod --release which specifies angularfire2 problem. I do not want to go down to angularfire2 Ver4 (since it requires code changes on several files). I am unable to find a solution fir angularfire2 Ver5. This is not a problem with AngularFire Team

Following is my ionic info:

 @ionic/cli-utils  : 1.15.2
