Thanks for reporting this!

Angular 18 is still not supported by Nx (see supported versions). Note that Angular 18 is still not released (you're trying a pre-release version). We are already working on adding support for it (#22509), so shortly after the Angular 18 stable version is out, Nx will have support for it.
