Current behavior:
After upgrading to 3.5.0 the swipeBackEnabled is not working anymore (in any view).

After downgrading to 3.4.2 everything works fine.

Expected behavior:
Pages should go back with a swipe on iOS.

Configuration in app.module.ts:

ionicModule.forRoot(MyApp, {
    swipeBackEnabled: true
})

Hello, thanks for using Ionic. We are looking into this as we speak.

Hey @Mike1707 , would you mind giving the latest nightly a try npm install ionic-angular@nightly --save and see if that fixes it for you? thanks!

[Mike1707]

Hey @jgw96 , thanks for your fast reply! It works now again as expected :-)

I might be missing something (apologies in advance), but we moved our app to 3.5.3 today and swipeBackEnabled stopped working. Previous on 3.4.2 it was working.

[Mike1707]

Hey @ericmorentin for me it's working with 3.5.3.
Maybe you have to set in app.module.ts

ionicModule.forRoot(MyApp, { swipeBackEnabled: true })

[ericmorentin]

Thanks @Mike1707. That didn't seem to work for me, but it is enough to know it is working for you. I will try and identify whats missing.

Found out that my problem is caused by using tabs. When my app root page is set to be a page with tabs the swipe to go back no longer works (as the check for canSwipeBack will return false as the Tabs are set as a child nav!).

Thanks @Mike1707!

@ericmorentin How did you fixed your problem?

[ericmorentin]

Sadly we didn't. Found out why it wasn't working and have not come back to it since that time.
