2. Go to Views -> TabView -> Getting Started.
3. Tap on Tab 2.

Tab 1 remains visible.

Any update on this?

We are also facing the same issue. The tab just does not switch.

So folks this is a show stopper on UWP Shell application. The tab just does not switch no matter what you do. Double tapping tab does not make it switch. And I am using the very latest XCT v1.2.0-pre2.

Is there any workaround until it get fixed in next coming release.
desperately looking for an update on it.

@techravi007 Have you heard or read something that definitely states this issue will be fixed in the next coming release?

[techravi007]

@Orgbrat No, I haven't any clue if it is going to be fixed in the next coming release though i'm hoping they should fix it.

@jfversluis Well I have never done anything with someone's open source project before, but I have forked the Xamarin.Community.Toolkit repository and I am going to see if I can tell what is going on with the TabView not working correctly in UWP. Not making any promises but at least I do have everything I need to work on UWP on my machine although I am not a UWP expert. But I am willing to give it a shot. Worst thing can happen is that I fail to help the issue... :)

@Orgbrat Thank you! If You need help I hope I can help. We need it too working for UWP.

@Agredo Well unfortunately I have received a new project to work on and my time is very limited for this issue. I will get back to this as soon as I can. But this is an issue that needs to be fixed by someone. Sorry...
