hamburger menu prism xamarin forms?

Question

I am trying to create an app using Prism in Xamarin Forms.

Xamarin Forms Version: 2.3.3.175

Prism Version: 6.2.0

The hamburger menu works in Android but when I run it UWP it won't display the icon and also when I navigate through menu, the menu totally disappears and I wont have the method go back to other pages too. In other words, I need to close and restart the app.

Here is what I tried so far.

1. After creating the prism project I added a MasterDetailPage:

   <MasterDetailPage.Master>
       <ContentPage Title="Default">
           <StackLayout>
               <Button Text="Billing" Command="{Binding Path=NavigationCommand}" CommandParameter="MyNavigationPage/BillingPage"/>
               <Button Text="Your Order" Command="{Binding Path=NavigationCommand}" CommandParameter="MyNavigationPage/PlaceOrderPage"/>
               <Button Text="Settings" Command="{Binding Path=NavigationCommand}" CommandParameter="MyNavigationPage/SettingsPage"/>
               <Button Text="Settings"/>
           </StackLayout>
       </ContentPage>
   </MasterDetailPage.Master>
   

MasterDetailPage ViewModel

public class MDPageViewModel : BindableBase
    {
        private INavigationService _navigationService;


        public DelegateCommand<string> NavigationCommand => new DelegateCommand<string>(Navigation);



        public MDPageViewModel(INavigationService navigationService)
        {
            _navigationService = navigationService;

        }

        private void Navigation(string page)
        {
            _navigationService.NavigateAsync(page);
        }
    }

2. After that I created a navigation page and also respective pages and view models. Here is App.Xaml.cs file:

   public partial class App : PrismApplication { public App(IPlatformInitializer initializer = null) : base(initializer) { }

       protected override void OnInitialized()
       {
           InitializeComponent();
   
           NavigationService.NavigateAsync("MDPage/MyNavigationPage/ItemsPage");
       }
   
       protected override void RegisterTypes()
       {
           Container.RegisterTypeForNavigation<MDPage>();
           Container.RegisterTypeForNavigation<BillingPage>();
           Container.RegisterTypeForNavigation<PlaceOrderPage>();
           Container.RegisterTypeForNavigation<SettingsPage>();
           Container.RegisterTypeForNavigation<MyNavigationPage>();
       }
   }
   

3. So when I run the app in UWP it loads like this

But when I click on the links in menu , menu will disappear and it looks like this.

What I am doing wrong and How can I solve it?

I created a project in github so you can easily view the error.

This is a bug in the latest version of Xamarin. It works when using 2.3.1.114. I've posted the bug here since i just ran into this.
