Ionic Framework

Hi there, I am working in an app with Ionic 4, and everything works fine with ionic serve, ionic cordova run browser and ionic cordova run android, but when I add --prod --release I get this error and I cannot identify what is wrong.

SOLVED: In my case, I had go disable aot and buildOptimizer from angular.json file.

angular.json > app > architect > build > configurations > production

Set “aot”: false
Set “buildOptimizer”: false

then

ionic cordova run android --prod --release

I hope it helps.
Cheers.

I would instead work to fix the underlying problem, because turning off aot is likely to be a big performance hit.

I agree. I shouldn’t disable aot, but that was the only solution I found. I think it will work until I find a true fix for the underlying problem.
