Windows Phone 8.1 Universal App terminates on navigating back from second page?

This is new to Windows Phone 8.1.

If you create a new Hub Universal App using a VS2013 template, you’ll notice a class in Common folder called a NavigationHelper.

This NavigationHelper gives you a hint how to properly react to back button press. So, if you don’t want to use the NavigationHelper, here’s how to get the old behavior back:

public BlankPage1()
{
    this.InitializeComponent();
    HardwareButtons.BackPressed += HardwareButtons_BackPressed;
}

void HardwareButtons_BackPressed(object sender, BackPressedEventArgs e)
{
    if (Frame.CanGoBack)
    {
        e.Handled = true;
        Frame.GoBack();
    }
}

You can also do it on app level, to avoid having to do it on every page:

public App()
{
    this.InitializeComponent();
    this.Suspending += this.OnSuspending;

    #if WINDOWS_PHONE_APP
    HardwareButtons.BackPressed += HardwareButtons_BackPressed;
    #endif
}

#if WINDOWS_PHONE_APP
void HardwareButtons_BackPressed(object sender, BackPressedEventArgs e)
{
    Frame rootFrame = Window.Current.Content as Frame;

    if (rootFrame != null && rootFrame.CanGoBack)
    {
        e.Handled = true;
        rootFrame.GoBack();
    }
}
#endif
