When the audio recorder is opened in the iPad, the view is always switched to portrait and the width is decreased because there's a "white" space in the view. This makes ion-split-pane detect that we are no longer in tablet, and our code to deactivate the split view is executed. When the recorder is closed the split view is activated again. This causes a weird animation when the recorder is closed (see attached video).

The javascript code is not frozen while the recorder is opened, so we cannot use timeouts or similar. We should either:

1. Remove our code to navigate when the split view is activated/deactivated.
2. Use a global flag to disable the navigation. This flag should be turned on before opening the audio recorder in iOS, and turned off when it's closed.
   OR
3. Check if there's any way to detect that the audio recorder is opened, but I didn't find any so far.
