This error showed up after upgrading @ionic/app-scripts: 3.2.3 to latest version 3.2.4.

I did not downgrade to fix it

I added

"types": [],

into

"compilerOptions"

in tsconfig.json file and the error was gone.

Now my tsconfig.json file looks like this:

"compilerOptions": {
    "types": [],  <== fix added here <==
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
    "declaration": false,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "lib": [
      "dom",
      "es2015"
    ],
    "module": "es2015",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "target": "es5"
  }
