10 $ digest () iterations reached error in ionic (angular)

I am writing my first app in angularjs and this is giving me error

Error: [$rootScope:infdig] 10 $digest() iterations reached. Aborting!
Watchers fired in the last 5 iterations: []

My app.js application code

run(function ($rootScope, $state, AuthService, AUTH_EVENTS) {
  $rootScope.$on('$stateChangeStart', function (event,next, nextParams, fromState) {

    if (!AuthService.isAuthenticated()) {
      if (next.name !== 'app.login') {
        event.preventDefault();
        $state.go('app.login');
      }
    }
  });
});

      

        
        
        
      

    

If I remove the last part of the user redirecting to the login page if it is not authenticated, I don't get the error. During boot it does get into a loop several times if I start with

domain.com/ 

      

        
        
        
      

    

Why is this happening?
