Try this:

import { Component, QueryList, ViewChildren } from '@angular/core';

import { Platform, NavController, IonRouterOutlet } from '@ionic/angular';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';
...
export class AppComponent {
@ViewChildren(IonRouterOutlet) routerOutlets: QueryList<IonRouterOutlet>;
constructor(
        private platform: Platform,
        private navCtrl: NavController,
        private router: Router
    ) {
        this.initializeApp();
        this.backButtonEvent();
    }

backButtonEvent() {
        this.platform.backButton.subscribe(async () => {

            this.routerOutlets.forEach((outlet: IonRouterOutlet) => {
                if (outlet && outlet.canGoBack()) {
                    outlet.pop();
                } else  {
                     navigator['app'].exitApp();
                }
            });
        });
    }

This is how I normally use mine. I hope it works for you.

Can you create a repo and fix your code there? That works for me with ionic v5 even in ionic v4
