AOT Error: Expected 'styles' to be an array of strings.

See original GitHub issue

I have created an empty project with a repro of the issue:

https://github.com/RicardoVaranda/ngx-ui-aot-bug

I’ve simply added the drawer component as an example to the project and tried to

ng build --prod

ng server --aot=true

Here is the error stack:

ERROR in Expected 'styles' to be an array of strings.

ERROR in ./src/main.ts
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve './$$_gendir/app/app.module.ngfactory' in '/Users/ricardo_varanda/Projects/ngx-ui-aot-bug/src'
