Bug

What is the expected behavior?

It should works.

What is the current behavior?

JS errors occurs.

• TypeError: Cannot read property 'trim' of undefined at applyKeyframeAnimation
• Cannot read property 'split' of undefined at removeKeyframeAnimation

What are the steps to reproduce?

Just click on "Pick One" on this official page with an Android 4.4/5.0 device: https://material.angular.io/components/dialog/overview

What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

It should works on this device type as Angular do.

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?

It's works on Angular 5.X + Angular Material 5.X but not on Angular 6.1.4 + Angular Material 6.4.5

Is there anything else we should know?

There is no crash when you use NoopAnimationsModule instead of BrowserAnimationsModule ... but there is no animation ;-)

This looks like an issue with the animations module. The issue should be posted to the main repo: https://github.com/angular/angular/issues.

Sorry, probably an Angular issue. angular/angular#25563
