Current Behavior

In order to completely disable native back swipe in IOS I’m having to use replace instead of push and its working fine except for one issue … disorienting page transitions.

I expect IonRouter.navigate(url, "forward", "replace") to show a forward animation but instead it shows a back animation. Also the other issue I've noticed is that is that the very first transition almost always is abrupt ie. without any animation at all.

Thanks! I'm able to replicate both issues (no transition on the first navigation, then always using the back transition from then on).

@amandaejohnston Wondering if there's any ETA for this bugfix? Thanks!

I wonder how everyone else is able to workaround this major navigation issue. Is there a temporary solution while we wait for this to be fixed properly?
