Ionic CSS animation not working on device

Question

I've got a ToDo-List style Ionic app with an <ion-list> and <ion-item ng-repeat> .

The <ion-items> do have the folowing animation.css on .ng-hide :

  -webkit-animation: flipOutX 0.3s;
  animation: flipOutX 0.3s;

The animation works fine in the browser but doesn't work on devices (android/ios). When I debug the app with safari I can see that .ng-hide with the right css is properly added - so ngAnimate seems to work alright.

I've tried using standard CSS animation (no animate.css) with all the webkits or ngFX - nothing seems to work - the animation always works in the browser but is never fired on iOS or Android.

To make it even better: It used to work on devices before I updated my setup.

EDIT: Animations do work on devices if I add them to a normal class (not .ng-hide ) - however .ng-hide does get added to the item.

I'm at a loss! What could be the reason?

Thanks for your help!

Turns out it was a bug in the inoic bundle. See here for details: https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/angular-animations-nganimate-not-working-for-ionic-v1-2-4-angular-v1-4-3/41107/6
