While attempting to upgrade my Angular application from version 15 to 16, I ran into a multitude of errors within my app.module. Despite trying various troubleshooting steps, such as checking module imports and utilizing ng update, the errors persist. It appears that the issues stem from module imports and package versions. Has anyone else encountered similar challenges during their migration from Angular 15 to 16? What steps do you recommend to resolve these errors specifically within the app.module? Any advice or guidance on dealing with these migration errors would be highly valued. This question provides a detailed overview of the problem, facilitating the community in offering relevant assistance.
