Hello,

I was suffering the same problem. In my case it was because an incompatibility between my angular version and my "angular-cli" version wich I updated without be careful of this.

"@angular/common": "5.2.9",
"@angular/compiler": "5.2.9",
"@angular/compiler-cli": "^7.1.4",
"@angular/core": "5.2.9",

I'm working in Angular5, so, with "@angular/compiler-cli" in "5.2.9" version I solved the problem.

Kind regards.
Fernando.

Hi zulfiqarnasha,

I changed "@angular/compiler-cli " version in my "package.json", writing the same version as "@angular/core" and the others.

And then, I ran an "npm update" to get the updated version.

Maybe you'll have to do the same with "@angular/cli".

I hope you can solve the problem.

King regards.
Fernando.

Thank you for the response, and I've tried everything you mentioned but it still doesn't work. So I tried following this (ionic-v1)

$ ionic cordova build --release android

to build the apk instead of this (ionic-v3)

ionic cordova build android --prod --release

and it solved the issue.
