From 3511ea04edbe0e8fcc3ffe8d5b1da275a6cc03ba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jakub Florkowski Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2026 00:54:04 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] [iOS] Fix Issue23892 test - Restore _popRequested logic for long-press navigation The test was failing because PR #32456 removed the _popRequested flag and logic that was originally added in PR #24003 to fix issue #23892 (long-press back button navigation not updating Shell's current page). Later, PR #29825 expanded the DidPopItem method with null checks and manual synchronization, but removed the _popRequested flag handling. This commit restores the _popRequested logic while keeping the null checks: - For user-initiated navigation (_popRequested == false), call SendPop() which triggers GoToAsync and properly fires navigation events - For programmatic navigation (_popRequested == true), use manual synchronization with null checks to prevent crashes Also fixes ElementForViewController to properly handle null ViewControllers by avoiding property pattern matching that requires non-null values.
