Angular 6 app not working in IE < 11

Question

My Angular App is not working in IE lower than 11, however previously it was not even working in IE 11, but after uncommenting some imports in polyfills.ts it worked, but the problem still persists in lower versions.

Here's my polyfills.ts, package.json, and browser console error respectively

polyfills.ts

/**
* This file includes polyfills needed by Angular and is loaded before the 
app.
You can add your own extra polyfills to this file.

This file is divided into 2 sections:
1. Browser polyfills. These are applied before loading ZoneJS and are sorted 
 by browsers.
2. Application imports. Files imported after ZoneJS that should be loaded 
before your main file.
*
* The current setup is for so-called "evergreen" browsers; the last versions 
of 
browsers that
automatically update themselves. This includes Safari >= 10, Chrome >= 55 
(including Opera),
Edge >= 13 on the desktop, and iOS 10 and Chrome on mobile.
*
* Learn more in https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/guide/browser-support.html

Please suggest a possible solution.

Answer 1

Facing the same issue with Angular 6. Just only uncommenting Pollyfills doesn't work at all. In addition to it add the meta tag <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" > to your index.html file.
