Current behavior:
In my chat application, i had the following code which was working fine till last week. The code simply scrolls the chat content to the bottom. But I don't which npm update caused this, but this code has completely stopped working. All the UI does is flash in place as if it is trying to scroll but does not scroll at all. Interesting thing is it works fine in Chrome browser and scrolls as expected. But not on IOS 10.

Expected behavior:
this.content.scrollToBottom() should scroll it to the end of the ion-content.

Steps to reproduce:

Related code:

Code Snippets from .TS file
@ViewChild(Content) content: Content;

ionViewDidEnter() {
setTimeout(() => {
this.content.scrollToBottom();
}, 500);
}

Other information:
I have tried without setTimeOut. Also, tried adding this.content.scrollToBottom(300). But nothing works. I never touched this code, so obviously something else broke it.

Hello, thanks for using Ionic! This has been fixed in 3.0 which was just released a few minutes ago (:

[nishantpant]

Thanks would be great. If you could link to docs on how to upgrade to ionic3 that will be great. All i see out there is IONIC 3 beta is out, but I don't want to upgrade to beta on our production software.

Everywhere on your site, docs and blogs, you still have announcements like 'Announcing IONIC 2.0 final!'

I didn't notice it was a UIWebView only issue.

I am working in a good fix for UI right now. But in the meantime, what is stoping you to use WKWebView? We have plans to deprecate UI very soon, making WK the default option.

I upgrade to ionic 3 beta, and the issue still exists.

@nishantpant could try this nightly release?
ionic-angular@3.0.0-201704061344

I'm having the same issue on ios as well (tried version 2.3 and 3.0), but I'm already using WKWebVies (or at least it claims to be).

scrollToBottom is working fine on android and was also working in 2.2.0

[nishantpant]

I just pulled all latest updates to ionic3 and this seems fixed now.
