Hardware back button does not work on device

See original GitHub issue

Tried capacitor for first time today and built the app successfully. But hardware back button does not work on device.

Back button on navbar works.

Steps I followed:

ionic start capacitorApp sidemenu
npm install --save @capacitor/cli @capacitor/core
npm uninstall --save cordova-plugin-splashscreen
npm run build
npx cap add android
npx cap open android
run app with android studio

On hitting hardware back button app does exit, but page navigation does not work.

We’re not emitting the backbutton event that Cordova did that Ionic relies on, we can fix that
