Ionic build --prod white screen

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

Hi,

Since yesterday, when I try to run my application with --prod flag, i get a white screen. But when I try to use ionic serve or, ionic DevApp, or ionic build --prod with livereload, it works perfectly.

I think I’ve a mistake in my config or package file but I don’t found it. Anybody can have a look ?

Hi SquallX,
I also face the same problem, my ionic app built with --prod flag giving me white screen of death.
For my case, I found that one of my npm package is the root cause. It is due to ngx-charts package from https://swimlane.gitbooks.io/ngx-charts/.
Maybe you can try to see any new package that you have installed recently that may cause the problem.

Hi Again,
I managed to solved the white screen hung issue by upgrading my angular packages to version 5.0.0.
Then update dev dependencies typescript to version greater than 2.4.

"dependencies": {
    "@angular/animations": "^5.0.1",
    "@angular/common": "^5.0.0",
