Known Limit
After review by the development team, it has been determined that this issue is related to a known limitation with the software that lies outside of Esri's control. The issue's Additional Information section may contain further explanation.
Additional Information
This is as per design when running any app within AppStudio Player for ArcGIS including Map Viewer because when running apps within AppStudio Player, the parent app is the AppStudio Player. Hence the Android back button works for the AppStudio Player app back button and not for the individual apps.
However, for the next release of AppStudio 2.2, the Back button support for Map Viewer is added in Android. But the app must run outside the AppStudio Player (use the Map Viewer built app) to fully utilize the back button functionality.
Workaround
Do not click on any of the icons inside the preview mode of the template before clicking on the back button of the device when using AppStudio Player.
