Ionic 3 - app-scripts 3.2.4 getting Cannot read property 'flags' of undefined

**Description:**
My company's Ionic v3 apps being rewritten to native.
In preparation for that wanted to use the firebase config plugin. Have to have cordov 9.0 and newer version of nodejs. Updated both of those.

After installing a bunch of modules (semver, shelljs, tslib) can build dev version fine.
But building with the --prod flag get error.
TypeError: Cannot read property 'flags' of undefined

Google brought me to
https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-cli/issues/2921
installed "@ionic/app-scripts": "^3.2.4"

Still getting the same problem.

Steps:
Delete node_modules
Delete package.lock

Install node modules
Add remove Android
Build for dev fine
Build for prod fails.

**Output:**
```
Running app-scripts build: --prod --platform android --target cordova

**My `ionic info`:**
```
cli packages: (/home/app/.npm-global/lib/node_modules)

@ionic/cli-utils : 1.19.3
ionic (Ionic CLI) : 3.20.1

global packages:

cordova (Cordova CLI) : 9.0.0 (cordova-lib@9.0.1)

local packages:

@ionic/app-scripts : 3.2.4
Cordova Platforms : android 8.1.0
Ionic Framework : ionic-angular 3.9.2

System:

Android SDK Tools : 26.1.1
Node : v14.16.1
npm : 6.14.12
OS : Linux 4.15

Environment Variables:

ANDROID_HOME : /home/user/Android/Sdk

Misc:

backend : pro
```

The app is really in maintenance mode. Adding in firebase config to get users to update the app will most likely be the last update for it.
Thanks

Reproduce the reported `ionic build --prod --platform android` failure, comparing it with the successful development build. Start at the `ngc` stage and the TypeScript stack location `node_modules/typescript/lib/typescript.js:24905`; done means identifying the production-build compatibility failure and documenting or validating a supported resolution.
