Ionic build for prod breaks generated files

Short description of the problem:

We have our app available on 3 platforms - Android, iOS and for web (browser).

The problem is that the generated main.js file and some of the images and the fonts appear to be broken after the build, but only for the browser platform, which is very strange.

ionic build android --release --prod - works

ionic build ios --release --prod - works

ionic build browser --release --prod - does not work, generates broken main.js file and some of the images are 0kb in size

What I have tried so far:

• Removed/Added browser platform
• Checked I use latest ionic and app scripts
• Made a build without the --release and --prod flags - this now does not break main.js file, but still generates 0 kb sized images. Strange thing is that some of the images are actually ok, but some of them are not.

I don't know why and what is the difference in the build process for the different platforms, in practicular the minifcation of js and copying the assets, but obviously something is wrong for the browser platform.

I would ask @danbucholtz for some ideas how to further debug in order to resolve this.

What behavior are you expecting?

Browser version to work just like Android and iOS

Actually I think this is not ionic related, rather than apache/cordova-browser#25

Will investigate and close for now.
