Expected behavior

Analytics running

Actual behavior

Whole app is not running

Workaround

By adding (window as any).global = window; to polyfill.ts I can work around the issue for now

Thanks for the heads up, I was planning on moving the caching service to a new providedIn: 'root' module so that it's DI too. I'll address shortly.

[jamesdaniels]

Fixed in 6.0.0-rc.1, which is being cut now

[vandres]

Thanks, can confirm it works without the polyfill now

Thanks for giving the RC a spin. The feedback is super valuable!
