As you use double quotes, the backslashes get interpreted by your shell. You can see that with set -x. The interpreted command which is called looks like:

sed -i -e 's/process.env.NODE_ENV = \'\''development\'\'';/process.env.NODE_ENV = \'\''production\'\'';/g' app.js

If you remove the backslashes, it works.
