Nativescript: Trouble running app after updating to v6.0

[ishaqueahmed-mev]

after updating my current NS app from v5 to v6 using tns migrate command, and after running with tns run ios, I'm getting the following error

Unknown argument: preserve-symlinks
Executing webpack failed with exit code 1.

Versions::
✔ Component nativescript has 6.1.0 version and is up to date.
✔ Component tns-core-modules has 6.1.0 version and is up to date.
⚠ Update available for component tns-android. Your current version is 6.0.0 and the latest available version is 6.1.0.
✔ Component tns-ios has 6.1.0 version and is up to date.

I have been stuck in it for almost 4 hours, I have only checked on iOS, not on android. Also when I created a new app, it works fine.

Please help me to find the issue.

Thanks/.

Hi @ishaqueahmed-mev,
Can you provide more info about your project and your environment(npm, NodeJS versions)? It will help if you can send us the full error log as well as the project, which you are trying to migrate or at least its package.json.

Hi @ishaqueahmed-mev,
Thank you for the provided additional information. After reviewing the package.json file, we found that this problem might be caused by the old "webpack" version (v. "~3.10.0"); To fix the issue, you can try executing the webpack deps update script via
./node_modules/.bin/update-ns-webpack --deps
Then delete node_modules, platforms folders and package-lock.json file, run npm i and try to rebuild the project.
