Does anyone know how to activate the bottom AppBar from the code when we select the tile? I found this, but I could not find the C # equivalent. I looked through a lot of samples, but no luck

Setting IsOpen to true in XAML should be sufficient to make it visible when the page opens. If you want to set focus on the AppBar, this can be done only by pressing a button or pressing a key by calling appBar.Focus (FocusState.Programmatic).
Suppose you want to always show the application bar when you select a tile.
IsOpen isSticky true tile
