[webpack5] --env.uglify no longer supported?

See original GitHub issue

Environment

CLI: ├── nativescript@8.0.2
Cross-platform modules: @nativescript/core@8.0.8
Android Runtime: ├── @nativescript/android@8.0.0
iOS Runtime: ├── @nativescript/ios@6.5.4 (JSC)
Plugin(s): ├── @nativescript/core@8.0.8 ├── @nativescript/types@8.0.1 ├── @nativescript/webpack@5.0.0-beta.15

Describe the bug As it seems the recommended optimization using Uglify.is no longer supported since NativeScript 8 and Webpack 5 (however documented): https://docs.nativescript.org/performance.html#uglify-js

To Reproduce Run ns build android|ios --env.uglify vs ns build android|ios --> no difference in app size.

Expected behavior Either working or if no longer necessary with Webpack5 a clarification of the documentation 😃. Thanks in advance!

--release + --env.production should minify the bundle, --env.uglify no longer works (it’s enabled with --env.production and it uses Terser now, and is very much a legacy flag).

The docs contain all the valid flags here: https://docs.nativescript.org/webpack.html#env-flags (has been updated a little while ago, just not linked to this issue, so I’m going to close it)
