Describe the Bug
Navigation animations do not work in iOS, but do work for MD.

Steps to Reproduce

1. clone and build the sample app
2. run in chrome, open dev tools, toggle open the device toolbar
3. choose an Android device and refresh
4. click on “Child Page” link and note that MD nav works fine
5. click on “go home” link
6. choose iOS device and refresh
7. repeat nav from above and note that there is no animation, tough the “go home” click seems to delay for it…

NOTE: if you refresh while on second page, everything works fine.

Expected Behavior
Animation works in iOS.

Additional Context
NOTE: second.page just defines an outlet. Refactoring this a bit as such alleviates the issue:

• https://github.com/kensodemann/ionic-playground/tree/childPageWithChildOutlet
• https://github.com/kensodemann/ionic-playground/tree/removeSecondOutlet

However, that is also a fundamental change to how the OP has architected their app. Still getting info on use case from the community member.
