Delayed transition in ionic rc 4

I am using ionic rc4.

I have multiple views with background images (64 built-in base coded in css). On iOS, I am having the problem that the background is not displayed until after the transition is complete. It looks like a short flash and is rather unaesthetic.

I think ionic creates a new dom element for the next view and instantly starts the transition. For performance reasons, iOS Safari stops rendering the dom while transitions are in progress. I think this might be causing the problem.

Is there a way to defer the transition after the dom has been created? This way I could make sure safari has enough time to pre-render the background of the view.

Thanks in advance!
