An easier workaround is to use the 'Focused' event on your webview. You can implement it as below:

var wb = new WebView
{
  HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.FillAndExpand,
  VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.FillAndExpand,
  Source = "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56320611/webview-gesturerecognition-not-working-in-xamarin-forms",
};

wb.Focused += (s, e) =>
{
   //Handle your logic here!
   wb.Unfocus(); 
};
