On upgrading to 1.5.0-rc.3 getting error:

app.main.ts:11 Uncaught ReferenceError: platformBrowser is not defined
at eval (app.main.ts:11)
at Object.../../../../../src/scripts/app/app.main.ts (main.bundle.js:46)
at __webpack_require__ (inline.bundle.js:55)
at Object.0 (main.bundle.js:645)
at __webpack_require__ (inline.bundle.js:55)
at webpackJsonpCallback (inline.bundle.js:26)
at main.bundle.js:1

when I run:

ng serve --environment dev --aot true

My app.main.ts contains:

import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';
import { environment } from '../environments/environment';
if (environment.production) {
enableProdMode();
}
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule).catch(err => console.log(err));

On downgrading back to 1.5.0-rc.2 error goes away

Versions:

Can you try upgrading to 1.5.0-rc.4? This issue might've been fixed by https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/commit/450383c2bf9ca162dd8ed01f410071a456677d45

Same here. Rolling back to rc.2 resolves the issue

Can you setup a minimal repro please? You can read here why this is needed. A good way to make a minimal repro is to create a new app via ng new repro-app and adding the minimum possible code to show the problem. Then you can push this repository to github and link it here.
