NavigationView.IsBackEnabled is not showing the back arrow in Android, works find in windows, ios ect

[cconner100]

Current behavior

Made a simple program to set the NavigationView as follows
`
<NavigationView.MenuItems>



</NavigationView.MenuItems>

`

This shows the back button on Windows, iOS and Mac fine but it does not seem to show on Android. Searched online and could not find a question about this.

Attached is a simple repro

Expected behavior

The navigationview should show the back arrow on android

You can use the IsBackButtonVisible property to adjust this. By default it is set to Auto, which should follow the target system guidelines. In the case of Android, the app should not display a back button in the UI, as it is not per the design guidelines.

All Android devices provide a Back button for this type of navigation, so don't add a Back button to your app’s UI.

So by default, the back button is not shown. You can override this by setting IsBackButtonVisible to Visible instead

I have added documentation to cover this here #15571

OK understand and it works but not sure why it does not follow the same rules as the other controls.

The logic is now, for Non android set the IsBackButtonVisible to auto. then set the BackEnabled based on the frame.cangoback.

But for Android I just set the IsBackButtonVisible to frame.IsBackEnabled. seems kind of strange to have this workaround to do the same thing.
