MasterDetail: Hamburger icon no visible on UWP

Ben.2646

The hamburger icon is not visible when the master part of MasterDetail view is closed in UWP project.
You can reproduce the bug with this sample:
https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-forms-samples/tree/master/Navigation/MasterDetailPage

How can I make this icon reappear?
You can see this bug on the attached screenshot.

I think it's caused by the default behaviour on UWP (see info that helped me find a solution here https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=40358)

I changed the code in the MainPage constructor to the following:

if (Device.OS == TargetPlatform.Windows) {
Master.Icon = "swap.png";
MasterBehavior = MasterBehavior.Popover; // Added this line of code
}

And now I see the hamburger icon.

@DStenroejl I can confirmed this works! Thank you so much!

However, Device.OS is obsolete. Use:

if (Device.RuntimePlatform == Device.Windows) { Master.Icon = "swap.png"; MasterBehavior = MasterBehavior.Popover; }

I just put this code and it works... Thank you guys.

public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();

        if (Device.RuntimePlatform == Device.Windows )
        {
            MasterBehavior = MasterBehavior.Popover; // Added this line of code
        }
    }
