Yes, Microsoft has introduced Xamarin.Forms 4.0 with new feature called "Shell". If you have VS 2019 download and install template pack that has updated templates based on shell. or you can easily walk through adding a Shell to your existing or new application. Once you have your application open, update to the Xamarin.Forms 4.0-pre NuGet .
