iOS: detached view controllers

[mpht]

Please, tell us how to recreate the issue in as much detail as possible.

This only happens on iOS - Android works fine.

1. Go do demo-angular.
2. Modify app.component.html to

<RadSideDrawer tkExampleTitle tkToggleNavButton>
    <StackLayout tkDrawerContent>
        <Label text="Menu 01"></Label>
    </StackLayout>
    <GridLayout tkMainContent>
        <page-router-outlet></page-router-outlet>
    </GridLayout>
</RadSideDrawer>

or even simpler

<GridLayout>
    <page-router-outlet></page-router-outlet>
</GridLayout>

3. Press login:

Presenting view controllers on detached view controllers is discouraged <UINavigationControllerImpl: 0x102818e00>.

Webview opens but nothing is shown

Workaround

You can create the following patch for tns-oauth-native-view-controller.ios.js and apply it using a hook. Please feel free to give input to that patch. Is this a possible solution or really just an ugly workaround?

Here is the patch file content:

Make sure to check the demo app(s) for sample usage

Can be reproduced by a small modification to demo-angular app.component.html

<GridLayout>
    <page-router-outlet></page-router-outlet>
</GridLayout>

Just to have everything in one post:
@imiskuf created a fork with my code and some deprecation fix - You can go check this out instead of using my patch.

@demolot you can try to use my forked repository (https://www.npmjs.com/package/nativescript-oauth2-forked). It contains the code from #116 and some deprecation fix

Thanks for the sample code. If anyone wants to do a PR on this, that would be awesome!
