I know that the --aot cli option was delete on serve, but @filipesilva should have a better answer for this.

But the dev-server architect support the aot option. It seems to be set to false by default, but I may be wrong here.

So you can activate aot for serve by setting your (angular.json).projects.[your project].architect.serve.options.aot to true.

      "serve": {
          "builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:dev-server",
          "options": {
            "browserTarget": "poc:build",
            "aot": true
          },
          "configurations": {
            "production": {
              "browserTarget": "poc:build:production"
            }
          }
        },

I got this error

Schema validation failed with the following errors:
Data path "" should NOT have additional properties(aot).

Is there documentation for the new angular.json file somewhere. Or the schema? I am getting the same error for the poll option. I am trying to use it in the example below. If I remove the "poll" option, everything else works. I need the poll option because Docker for Windows does not handle file change events properly on mounted volumes.

        "serve": {
          "builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:dev-server",
          "options": {
            "browserTarget": "myapp:build"
          },
          "configurations": {
            "hmr": {
              "browserTarget": "myapp:build:hmr",
              "host": "0.0.0.0",
              "watch": true,
              "poll": 500,
              "hmr": true,
              "proxyConfig": "proxy.conf.json"
            },
            "production": {
              "browserTarget": "myapp:build:production"
            }
          }
        },
