device-height is being removed from meta viewport tag

In my HTML I am using following meta tag

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,height=device-height,initial-scale=1,maximum-scale=1">

Notice that height is set to device-height.

After deploying the HTML on android device using ionic framework, height=device-height is gone from the meta tag and tag simply becomes like this.(I am using chrome's inspect device tool to check it).

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1,maximum-scale=1">

What am I missing here? why height property from the meta tag is being removed and how do I prevent it from being removed?
