NativeScript encountered a fatal error: Uncaught ReferenceError: __UI_USE_EXTERNAL_RENDERER__ is not defined

For some reason I get this error when I'm building on iOS on my mac.

***** Fatal JavaScript exception - application has been terminated. *****

Yesterday it worked perfectly fine, so I'm kind of surprised to see an error. I tried cleaning the platforms and upgrading to a newer version, but nothing works.

Nothing has changed for as much as I know.

I also tried testing it with other branches, and even there I get this error.

Any suggestions?

Maybe is a problem with your version of @nativescript/webpack, if you migrated to NativeScript 8.1 you should update your version of @nativescript/webpack to 5.0.0 as pointed here
