Describe the issue you are experiencing
If you go to Settings - Add-ons and go back once, it will go back to Settings, so this works as intended.
When going to Settings - Add-ons and then click on any add-on and click the back button, it will cycle between the add-on page you clicked and the main Add-ons page, it will never go back to Settings.
This issue is annoyting on mobile, but it is possible to come back to settings, when using the back functionality on the phone (physical button or gesture).
Describe the behavior you expected
I expect, when I go to Settings - Add-ons - Node-Red and click back twice I will end up in Settings again.
Steps to reproduce the issue
- Go to Settings
- Go to Add-ons
- Go to any add-on
- Use back button

Same experience on iOS app. I have to force quit the app and relaunch to get out of the add-ons screen.
I don't think the behavior is unexpected due to the underlying navigation that is performed to access the add-on.
That being said, a potential solution would be to provide a "long-press" behavior when the back button is pressed in which the potential dashboard could be displayed OR jump back to the "top-level" or Overview.
why is this not unexpected? it is faulty, introduced recently and should be fixed.
The problem occurs with lower screen resolution where the main menu is hidden. Tested on iOS, desktop firefox and chrome displayed only on one half of the monitor. No hamburger menu will be displayed, only back arrow in an neverending loop
this happens on any resolution. For the sake of it, I just full screened my desktop browser and even then there's no way out. Just got confirmation though the Frontend team is aware.
I found that turning iphone to landscape revealed the sidebar enabling navigation menu, but now this doesnt work either.
In iOS swipe from left screen edge to the right. This will show the main menu.
tested the issue itself, and as far as I can see, the navigating has been fixed. can go deep into add-on's, and clicking back bring us where we are supposed to go, and finally also out of the add-on menu.
Just re-tested myself because of this comment. Definitely broken when using HomeAssistant Companion in iOS and Chrome/Safari browsers on Mac OS.

Fixed in https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/pull/14555 which is a part of the next supervisor release that is currently in need testing.
Can confirm that post Supervisor 2022.12.1 update, this issue is no longer present. Thanks @ludeeus
