bug: popover height calculated incorrectly with popoverController + component

• I have searched for existing issues that already report this problem, without success.

Ionic Framework Version

v8.x

Current Behavior

When creating a popover with the popoverController and an Angular component, the height of the popover is calculated before Angular's change detection cycle is run. This means that if you are passing content into the popover, the height will be calculated incorrectly and the popover will be positioned wrong.

This mainly shows up when putting the popover in a footer as the offset is calculated using the content height.

Expected Behavior

Ionic shouldn't calculate the content height of the popover before a change detection cycle has run so that any height changes caused by component props will be reflected.

Steps to Reproduce

const popover = await this.popoverController.create({
      component: PopoverContentComponent,
      componentProps: { message: "some multiline content" },
      event: { target: element } as unknown as Event, // an element in a footer
    });

import { Component, Input } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';

@Component({
  selector: 'popover-content',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [CommonModule],
  templateUrl: './popover-content.component.html',
  styleUrl: './popover-content.component.scss',
})
export class PopoverContentComponent {
  @Input() message = '';
}

<div class="popover-content">
    <p>{{ message }}</p>
</div>

Note, by placing the content in popover-component.html inside of an ion-content, the issue is resolved.
