I tested my Xamarin.Forms app on iOS and Android and found this difference when I change the orientation of the mobile device:

On iOS, the app keeps the current page
On Android, the app seems to restart using the default page (or probably pop all pages except the first one).

Since I've never seen this behavior in another Android app, I'd like to disable it. Moreover, I don't think that this behavior is Android default.

Which property do I need to set the make the Android target behave as the iOS target?
