Can't select same item twice on CollectionView

I use a CollectionView control to display a list of files, if users click an item a popup appears displaying information about the file and a button to download it, the problem is that I use the SelectionChanged method of the CollectionView to run this action, but if users close the popup and click again on the same item nothing happens. Back when we use ListView control, the ItemTapped event runs every time the users click the same item, but i need to changed to CollectionView because later we'll change the file item from a single row to multiple columns (2 or 3).

It is possible to make the users click on the same item multiple times with CollectionView control ?

P.D: also try to set the SelectedItem to null but the app crashes if the users select again the same item.

It works for me when i set SelectedItem to null.What else did you do when you set selectitem?

below is my simple sample,i use DisplayAlert instead of popup.

the xaml ：

<CollectionView x:Name="collection" SelectionChanged="CollectionView_SelectionChanged" SelectionMode="Single" >
            <CollectionView.ItemsSource>
                <x:Array Type="{x:Type x:String}">
                    <x:String>Baboon</x:String>
                    <x:String>Capuchin Monkey</x:String>
                    <x:String>Blue Monkey</x:String>
                    <x:String>Squirrel Monkey</x:String>
                    <x:String>Golden Lion Tamarin</x:String>
                    <x:String>Howler Monkey</x:String>
                    <x:String>Japanese Macaque</x:String>
                </x:Array>
            </CollectionView.ItemsSource>
</CollectionView>

in page xaml.cs:

private async void CollectionView_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (collection.SelectedItem != null)
        {
            await DisplayAlert("Question?", "Would you like to play a game", "Yes", "No");          
            collection.SelectedItem = null;

        }

    }

the effect is like below：
