I was able to fix this issue by updating the angular and ionic libraries.

ng update and npm update

I want to say it was fixed in feat-ng-vite-support #5064

[dodomui]

fixed by updated to "@ionic/angular-toolkit": "^11.0.1",

[jerrynavi]

Closing as it's been fixed on "@ionic/angular-toolkit": "^11.0.1"

You should reopen this ticket; I just did a fresh build with npx and it installed the angular toolkit 9.x
