ionViewDidLoad fires before childs components have been loaded

[ecureuill]

Short description of the problem:

ionViewDidLoad fires before childs components have been loaded.

What behavior are you expecting?

ionViewDidLoad fires after childs components have been loaded, so I can access it's properties that are loaded in ngOnInit

Steps to reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

    export class DynamicForm implements OnInit {
       @ViewChild(DynamicForm) dform: DynamicForm

    ngAfterViewInit() {
        console.debug("[HomePage]: ngAfterViewInit");
        console.debug("\t this.dform", this.dform)
        console.debug("\t this.dform.form", this.dform.form)
        console.debug("#####################");
    }

    ionViewDidLoad() {
        console.debug("[HomePage]: ionViewDidLoad");
        console.debug("\t this.dform",this.dform)
        console.debug("\t this.dform.form", this.dform.form)    
        console.debug("#####################");
      }
    }

    export class DynamicForm implements OnInit {
         public form: FormGroup;

    ionViewLoaded() {
        //do not fire

        console.debug("[DynamicForm]: ionViewLoaded")
        this.form = this.qcs.toFormGroup(this.groups_questions);
        console.debug("\t", this.form);
        console.debug("#####################");

    }

    ngOnInit() {
        console.debug("[DynamicForm]: ngOnInit")
        this.form = this.qcs.toFormGroup(this.groups_questions);
        console.debug("\t", this.form);
        console.debug("#####################");

    }
    }

console output

    [HomePage]: ionViewDidLoad
        this.dform DynamicForm {qcs: QuestionControlService, groups_questions: Array[0], submitEvent: EventEmitter, cancelEvent: EventEmitter}
        this.dform.form undefined
    #####################
    [DynamicForm]: ngOnInit
        FormGroup {validator: null, asyncValidator: null, _pristine: true, _touched: false, _onDisabledChange: Array[0]…}
    #####################
    [HomePage]: ngAfterViewInit
        this.dform DynamicForm {qcs: QuestionControlService, groups_questions: Array[5], submitEvent: EventEmitter, cancelEvent: EventEmitter, form: FormGroup}
        this.dform.form FormGroup {validator: null, asyncValidator: null, _pristine: true, _touched: false, _onDisabledChange: Array[0]…}
    #####################

Note to team: I can easily reproduce this in a starter using the above example of trying to access an element directly in ionViewDidLoad.
