angularjs ng-repeat scope services JavaScript

I'm trying to configure Quick question that's been bugging me - I'm working with a frustrating scenario with AngularJS 1.8 where changes to an array in my service are not reflecting in the view when using `ng-repeat`. I have a service that manages a list of items, and I’m trying to update the list from a controller, but the changes aren't updating in the UI. Here's a simplified version of my code: ```javascript // Service to manage items app.service('ItemService', function() { var items = []; this.getItems = function() { return items; }; this.addItem = function(item) { items.push(item); }; }); // Controller that uses the service app.controller('ItemController', function($scope, ItemService) { $scope.items = ItemService.getItems(); $scope.addItem = function() { ItemService.addItem({ name: 'New Item' }); // This is where I expect the view to update automatically }; }); ``` In the HTML, I have: ```html <div ng-controller="ItemController"> <ul> <li ng-repeat="item in items">{{item.name}}</li> </ul> <button ng-click="addItem()">Add Item</button> </div> ``` When I click the "Add Item" button, I can see that the item is added to the `items` array (I even verified it by logging the array to the console), but the UI does not update to reflect the new item. I tried using `$scope.$apply()` after the `addItem` call, but it didn't have any effect. I also checked for any errors in the console, but there are none. My AngularJS application is running in strict DI mode, so I have ensured all dependencies are injected correctly. Is there something I'm missing regarding how AngularJS handles scope updates or item references within arrays? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! My development environment is Ubuntu.
