Hello all! The version of Uglify we used in these old versions of app-scripts did not support es6. If you update to the latest release of app-scripts 2.0.2 we now use the es6 friendly version of uglify. Thanks!

Hi, I update to app-script 2.0.2 but it doesn't work. So i used to understand --aot --optimizejs --minifyjs --minifycss and i've the same error

It works only with --aot --optimizejs --minifycss

but when i use --minifyjs, I've got the same than --prod.
Here is the error:

ionic-app-scripts build "--minifyjs"
