workspace.json problems

Hi,

BUG 1: In the latest version 8 if a new Ionic app is created. Cannot start live reload due to missing angular.json file in app directory(apps/ionic-myapp). It must be created manually with separate configuration.

$ cd apps/ionic-myapp && ionic capacitor run ios --livereload --address=0.0.0.0
> ng run app:serve --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8100
[ng] The run command requires to be run in an Angular project, but a project definition could not be found.

Question 1: Also i would like to know what is purpose of renaming angular.json to workspace.json? Angular console and commands like ng xi18n stoped working because of that.

ng xi18n
The xi18n command requires to be run in an Angular project, but a project definition could not be found.

Question 2 / Bug2: If i rename workspace.json to angular.json, Angular console and commands start to work, but im getting error with xi18n

ERROR in Unexpected value 'McbIonicCoreModule in .../myapp/xplat/ionic/core/core.module.ts' imported by the module 'CoreModule in .../myapp//apps/ionic-myapp/src/app/core/core.module.ts'. Please add a @NgModule annotation.

Hi, yes i tried both NX and NG. with NX there is just info that it will forwad to angular CLI.

NX NOTE Nx didn’t recognize the command, forwarding on to the Angular CLI.

I noticed that problem is not related just to xi18n, but it is also impossible to run build command with --prod flag.

Im trying that on new project. Step to reproduce:

$ npx create-xplat-workspace myworkspace
> Angular CLI // this generate angular.json instead of workspace.json
> ionic
> angular
--- ERROR: You provided an invalid object where a stream was expected. You can provide an Observable, Promise, Array, or Iterable. Command failed: npx nx g @nstudio/xplat:init
$ ng g @nstudio/xplat:init // With ng it works
> ionic
> angular
$ ng g app // nx g app - didn't work
> ionic
> angular
> Use xplat supp... : Y
$ yarn run prepare.ionic.APP_NAME
$ nx build ionic-APP_NAME // OK
$ nx build ionic-APP_NAME --prod // same error as with xi18n

$ ng version
Angular CLI: 8.0.1
Node: 12.4.0
OS: darwin x64
$ npx  --version
10.2.0
