We have an Angular application with SSR that has some custom webpack configuration. We use NX to build it, with the executors @angular-builders/custom-webpack:browser and @angular-devkit/build-angular:server. It currently does SSR using CommonEngine, but we would like to migrate to the new AngularNodeAppEngine.
According to the NX website, @nx/angular:webpack-server is a "drop-in replacement for the @angular-devkit/build-angular:server builder provided by the Angular CLI" (and similarly for @nx/angular:webpack-browser). However, when running the generated main.js file, it immediately dies with the following Error:
Error: Angular app engine manifest is not set. Please ensure you are using the '@angular/build:application' builder to build your server application.

Digging through the source code, it appears that @angular/build:application internally generates an AngularAppEngineManifest for the server, but apparently the NX builder doesn't.
Is this an unsupported feature? Upcoming? I haven't been able to find any documentation either way...
