Xamarin.forms: Regression - Android - Exception thrown during NavigationPage.Navigation.PopAsync

[aquisio]

I am seeing an ArgumentOutOfRangeException when executing PopAsync after inserting a page into the navigation stack, which seems to be a regression of this issue and may be related to #2576 .

The issue can be reproduced by adding a single empty page to an empty template project and then including the following code in an async OnStart() implementation:

    var nav = (NavigationPage) MainPage;
    nav.Navigation.InsertPageBefore(new SecondPage(), nav.CurrentPage);
    await nav.Navigation.PopAsync(false);

This issue only affects Android projects using Material Design (FormsAppCompatActivity).

• Version with issue: All Xamarin.Forms versions from v2.5.1.444934 onwards
• Last known good version: v2.5.0.280555
• IDE: VS2017 v15.7.1
• Android Target Framework: 7.1, 8.0, 8.1
• Android Support Library Version: v25.4.0.2 and v27.0.2

I seriously believe that this situation is not acceptable...new and old bugs appear with each new release.
When the fix will be released?

I hope this time unit tests are implemented, so that any further regression gets caught by CI

Hi @opcodewriter that's for your feedback it's hard to unit test platform code, the interation, time on device etc make it super hard. We do write UI Test, and i wrote one in my fix, that's how i found out this seems to be a issue also in iOS :)

This is happening for me as of 3.4.0.1008975

EDIT: Actually, it looks like it's a result of auto-navigating away from the page during an "Appearing" event, even though the stack indicates having pages available during pop.

The entire Navigation management system seems to be quite unstable.

Did you find a workaround to this issue or open another issue? I'm having the same issue - unable to pop after autonavigating in onAppearing
