How do I execute code when a user switches back to my UWP app?

In Windows Phone and Windows 8.1, OnNavigatedTo would be invoked when a page became the visible page after navigation from any page. Now, it seems that this method is only called when switching between pages in the current app. How do I execute code when a user switches back to my app from another one (ie using the back button). I've tried the Application.Resuming event, but this is not fired either.

The Application.Resuming event is only called if your app was actually suspended, which might not be the case. However, the application object has OnActivated plus a bunch of scenario-specific overrides; one of those is likely what you want.

Relying on Window.VisibilityChanged sounds iffy if you're targeting other device families than phone.
