I need to tap twice to trigger the event

Ionic version: [x] 1.x [ ] 2.x [ ] 3.x

I’m submitting a … [x] bug report [ ] feature request [ ] support request => Please do not submit support requests here, use one of these channels: https://forum.ionicframework.com/ or http://ionicworldwide.herokuapp.com/

Current behavior: I need to tap twice(fast) to trigger the event(to open menu, any button in my screen, etc…).

Expected behavior: One tap to trigger the event.

Ionic info: (run ionic info from a terminal/cmd prompt and paste output below):

Cordova CLI: 6.4.0
Ionic CLI Version: 2.2.3
Ionic App Lib Version: 2.2.1
ios-deploy version: Not installed
ios-sim version: Not installled
OS: macOS Sierra
Node Version: v7.9.0
Xcode version: Xcode 8.2.1 Build version 8C1002

It has the same behavior on emulator and device(iOS). On Android it’s working fine.

@daveshirman re: your blog post, I don’t think suggesting tappable for ion-item is good advice.

Rather, those should be converted to <button ion-item>, while reserving tappable for out-of-the-ordinary use cases.

As the link to the Ionic docs that you mentioned in your blog post says:

In general, we recommend only adding (click) events to elements that are normally clickable. This includes “button” and “a” elements. This improves accessibility as a screen reader will be able to tell that the element is clickable.

So it seems suggesting tappable for ion-item would hurt accessibility, and the best choice would be to use buttons as your first choice.
