To respond to theme changes on Android you must include the ConfigChanges.UiMode flag in the Activity attribute of your MainActivity class. Try to add the code in activity class and test again.

[Activity(Label = "App19F_9", Icon = "@mipmap/icon", Theme = "@style/MainTheme", MainLauncher = true, ConfigurationChanges = ConfigChanges.UiMode ...)]
public class MainActivity : global::Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android.FormsAppCompatActivity
{
    ...
}

No, sorry, I do not know how to do it, I just want that regardless of the theme on the phone my projects had a light theme. Old projects did so, I updated yesterday's visual studio and now everything depends on the system theme on the phone, I want to stop it

The light theme for the application requests us to customize the settings. When changing the theme of the phone, the application will not change the theme automatically. To keep the light theme for you application, you just need to set a theme style for your application.

To set theme for the application:

try to use AppThemeBinding to set data binding to add styles for the properties.

<ContentPage ...
             BackgroundColor="{AppThemeBinding Light={StaticResource LightPageBackgroundColor}, Dark={StaticResource LightPageBackgroundColor}}">

    <ContentPage.Resources>
        <ResourceDictionary>
            <Color x:Key="LightPageBackgroundColor">White</Color>
            <!--<Color x:Key="DarkPageBackgroundColor">Black</Color>-->
        </ResourceDictionary>
    </ContentPage.Resources>

    <ContentPage.Content>
        ...
    </ContentPage.Content>
</ContentPage>

To use the AppTheme class, we need to add the flag before the Forms.Init method in the MainActivity class.

public class MainActivity : global::Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android.FormsAppCompatActivity
{
    protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        ...
        Forms.SetFlags(new string[] { "AppTheme_Experimental" });

        global::Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(this, savedInstanceState);
        LoadApplication(new App());
    }
}

Add the line in MainActivity ->OnCreate

AppCompatDelegate.DefaultNightMode = AppCompatDelegate.ModeNightNo;
