Got the same error compiling aot, and im NOT using angularfire2 - not that i know of anyway.

Any pointers to fix this is highly appreciated.

Thanks for reporting this issue. This issue is now obsolete due to changes in the recent releases. Please update to the most recent Angular CLI version.

If the problem persists after upgrading, please open a new issue, provide a simple repository reproducing the problem, and describe the difference between the expected and current behavior.

Why issue is closed? Nothing works!

For my case:

Doing JIT build seems fine (either using ngtools/webpack with codegeneration disabled or using template+router loaders) and app running well
Doing AOT build fails
- Successful after upgrade angularfire2 to beta.7-pre, look https://github.com/angular/angularfire2/issues/728
- but only the build succeed, the app is throwing error on runtime, looks like AOT did something to my constant exports that my config values are undefined when accessed by angularfire2

@antonybudianto mentioned in https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/3761 that this is likely related to angularfire2.
