ngIf - Expression has changed after it was checked

this error occur because you in dev mode:

In dev mode change detection adds an additional turn after every regular change detection run to check if the model has changed.

so, to force change detection run the next tick, we could do something like this:

export class App implements AfterViewChecked {

  show = false; // add one more property

  constructor(private cdRef : ChangeDetectorRef) { // add ChangeDetectorRef
    //...
  }
  //...
  ngAfterViewChecked() {
    let show = this.isShowExpand();
    if (show != this.show) { // check if it change, tell CD update view
      this.show = show;
      this.cdRef.detectChanges();
    }
  }

  isShowExpand()
  {
    //...
  }
}

Causing change detector to run after ngAfterContentChecked solved the problem for me

example as below:

import { ChangeDetectorRef,AfterContentChecked} from '@angular/core'
export class example implements OnInit, AfterContentChecked {
    ngAfterContentChecked() : void {
        this.changeDetector.detectChanges();
    }
}

Although, as I read some of the articles, this issue gets solved in production mode without any required fix.

Below is the possible reason for such issue:

It enforces a uni-directional data flow: when the data on our controller classes gets updated, change detection runs and updates the view.

But that updating of the view does not itself trigger further changes which on their turn trigger further updates to the view

For some reason, @Tiep Phan's answer didn't work for me to force change detection, but using setTimeout (which also forces change detection) did.

I also only had to add it to the offending line, and it worked fine with the code I already had in ngOnInit instead of having to add ngAfterViewInit.

Example:

ngOnInit() {
    setTimeout(() => this.loadingService.loading = true);
    asyncFunctionCall().then(res => {
        this.loadingService.loading = false;
    })
}
