Description

HI there,

Apologies if there's a simple fix for this, but after extensive searching and code reading, I couldn't figure it out. When I press the Android device's back button, I would expect the app to navigate back (as though I'd navigated back in the browser), but instead, it just returns to the Android home screen.

Am I misconfiguring something, or is this a Hotwire Native limitation?

Thank you for your help!
