Overlay components cannot find the component to present from

See original GitHub issue

Short description of the problem:

Opening an overlay component in ionViewDidEnter never actually presents the component because the overlay cannot find the component that it should present from.

This is the NavPortal when opening an overlay component in a timeout in ionViewDidEnter: screen shot 2016-08-08 at 11 11 38 am

Steps to reproduce:

Try to open an overlay component such as a loading or alert in ionViewDidEnter

@TheBrockEllis Good question! We normally do a few nightly releases before doing another full beta release, so the fix for this should be available before beta.12 (its already fixed on the master branch). Also, just so you know the workaround for this is to just wrap your logic that is in your ionViewDidEnter with a setTimeout. To downgrade back to beta.10 (although i would not recommend it as beta.11 has a ton of fixes for issues in beta.10) you can just follow the upgrade steps in our changelog backwards haha. Thanks for using Ionic! Finally, I added a test for this issue in my above pr (that has since been merged) so that we can watch out for this issue in the future.
