Hi, I have an angular application that was running perfectly fine but recently started giving an error in heroku deployment. No matter what I try, I continue to get the same error. Although the application runs and builds fine in my local environment, it fails when deployed to heroku.

The error I get is:
`- Generating browser application bundles...
✔ Browser application bundle generation complete.
Error: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'kind')

-----> Build failed`

I have tried changing the version of typescript, adding compile options in tsconfig.json to ignore typescript version check but still run into the same issue.
