@francoisromain Did you find any solution on that?

[ulivz]

Could you upgrade to the latest version of VuePress?

Hello, I haven't tried this yet but I'm pretty sure that your browserslist is not including IOs 9, and there when it bundles is not supported.

Your actual browserslits configuration is: https://browserl.ist/?q=%3E1%25

I don't think that giving support for IOs 9 is needed though.

Also see if you need to compile your node_modules folder as well, check this issue as reference babel/babel#9712
