'Backwards Shell navigation does not trigger ApplyQueryAttributes and I can't get the query data .NET MAUI

I have a page that is used to select country code. The ListView with country code's is on another page and on selected country code I navigate back to the previous page with the selected country code data and display it there.

The problem is that I am not getting the data from the query route when navigating backwards using the two dots. The debugger won't enter ApplyQueryAttributes at all yet I am brought back to the previous page. I'm using view models and following the documentation as described. Below I will share the code.

There is also a second problem that can be related. And that is when navigating to hte country code selection page from the previous page the button has to be pressed two times. The debugger enters the first row of ApplyQueryAttributes and then exits with no error.

The First page expecting the query routes data ViewModel:

public class OpenAccountViewModel : BaseViewModel, IQueryAttributable
    {
        public string CountryCode { get; set; }


        private string phonenumber;
        public string PhoneNumber 
        { 
            get => phonenumber;
            set 
            { 
                phonenumber = value;
                OnPropertyChanged(nameof(PhoneNumber));
            } 
        }

        private string iconUrl;
        public string IconUrl 
        {
            get => iconUrl;
            set 
            {
                iconUrl = value;
                OnPropertyChanged(nameof(IconUrl));
            }
        }

        public ICommand OpenAccountCommand { get; set; }

        public OpenAccountViewModel()
        {
            IconUrl = "us_icon.png";
            OnPropertyChanged(IconUrl);

            OpenAccountCommand = new Command(OpenAccount);
        }

        public void OpenAccount()
        {
            var fullNumber = $"{CountryCode}{PhoneNumber}";
            Shell.Current.GoToAsync($"{nameof(SmsCodePage)}?phone={fullNumber}");
        }

        public void ApplyQueryAttributes(IDictionary<string, object> query)
        {
            var countryCode = query["code"].ToString();
            var iconUrl = query["icon"].ToString();

            if (countryCode is not null && iconUrl is not null)
            {
                CountryCode = query["code"].ToString();
                OnPropertyChanged(CountryCode);

                IconUrl = query["icon"].ToString();
                OnPropertyChanged(IconUrl);
            }
        }
    }

How I'm register the routes:

public AppShell()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        Routing.RegisterRoute(nameof(TermsAndConditionsPage), typeof(TermsAndConditionsPage));
        Routing.RegisterRoute(nameof(OpenAccountPage), typeof(OpenAccountPage));
        Routing.RegisterRoute(nameof(CountryCodeSelectPage), typeof(CountryCodeSelectPage));
        Routing.RegisterRoute(nameof(SmsCodePage), typeof(SmsCodePage));
    }
