Inspired by discussion with @abdonrd: #8347 (comment)
Find/replace string transforms aside, I caught and fixed a real bug in this PR, which was that a webpack production build without any special handling for
__DEV__would fail to include the__DEV__polyfill (presumably due to tree-shaking), leading toReferenceErrorexceptions within@apollo/clientcode. Although we recommend using a minifier to inline__DEV__as a boolean constant, it's important that everything works without configuring inlining (or anything else) in a build step. This PR restores that principle. Configuring your minifier to inline__DEV__should be merely an optimization opportunity, not a hard requirement.Verified using our reproduction app (which is based on Create React App and thus also webpack).
