Xamarin Shell Right to left FlowDirection not working

I'm developing a new cross-platform application with Xamarin 4.0 and I want change layouts to right to left direction.

I want shell items and flyout menu in right of screen. I tried this code in Shell tag. But it didn't work.

FlowDirection = "RightToLeft"

What should I do?

Thanks.

in main activity inside OnCreate method: Make it look like that

    protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        TabLayoutResource = Resource.Layout.Tabbar;
        ToolbarResource = Resource.Layout.Toolbar;
        base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
        Xamarin.Essentials.Platform.Init(this, savedInstanceState);
        global::Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(this, savedInstanceState);

        Window.DecorView.LayoutDirection = LayoutDirection.Rtl;

        LoadApplication(new App());
    }

Unfortunately, it should be the limit of Shell Flyout .

FlowDirection:Just can modify the direction of subview's content, not the parent layout of it.

After testing in official sample Xamarin.Forms - Xaminals , setting FlowDirection = "RightToLeft" can not changing Flyout from left of screen to right of screen.

enter image description here

Note: If have other solutions to solve the direction of parent layout, will update here.
