Ionic CLI 4 error building for production

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

After upgrade ionic to version 4 I cannot build my project for production anymore. I’d recreate my project from scracth and import the source code but it didn’t work. The commands “ionic serve” and “ionic cordova build android” works but the “ionic cordova build android --prod” does not work. The error is below.

Ionic info

What can I do?

Thanks

You’ve got a mix of errors so probably many errors to solve

This one makes me think you didn’t properly migrate your project. Ionic v3 use ionic-app-scripts but Ionic v4 use the Angular CLI to compile respectively no more app script

@joshmorony wrote a nice proposal tutorial about how to cleanly migrate a project My Method for Upgrading from Ionic 3 to Ionic 4 | Josh Morony

then

it seems that there isn’t any OverlayPortal in Ionic v4, at least when I try to find that reference across their repo I found nothing. Have you migrated your code as displayed in the breaking changes (https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic/blob/master/angular/BREAKING.md) list and in the migration (Updating to v4 | Ionic Documentation) section of the documentation?
