Cannot find module "./app.module.ngfactory"

Question

I updated Ionic from RC1 to RC3 following the documentation instructions and after that I can't run my app properly in Android using ionic run android or ionic build android. Previewing with ionic serve and .apk build works properly, but when I run the app in my device or in an emulator, it shows the splashscreen and after a blank WebView. When I debug via chrome://inspect, it shows in console the following error:

main.js:7 Uncaught Error: Cannot find module "./app.module.ngfactory"

I made a backup of the project folder before the update, when my app was working properly, and the code is the same (no changes during the upgrade), and the app.module.ts, main.dev.ts and main.prod.ts seems fine. I tried remove .tmp and node-modules folder and run npm install again, but the error persists.

check this out: https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/cannot-find-module-app-module-ngfactory/72832/3

The newest version of typescript caused the error for me.

Answer 2

In my case I had an import problem with NGTranslate.
