Current behavior:

Expected behavior:
Is it correct that app.getActiveNav() was effectively deleted?

• Yes:
  a. Could you plz update the documentation because the method still appear https://ionicframework.com/docs/api/components/app/App/#getActiveNav
  b. Could you instruct in that case which method replacement should be use

• No:
  Could you plz inject back the method app.getActiveNav()

Steps to reproduce:

• Use this.app.getActiveNav()

Hi all,

Whoops, I am really sorry about that. We should not have deleted this method. I think I must have been using the refactoring tools in VS Code and that's why I didn't notice. I will put this back in and release a patch today.

Once again I'm very sorry.

Thanks,
Dan
