How to check and fix HotReload with MAUI .net 8?


I can't get Hot Reload to work on Visual Studio 2022 Mac with .net 8 and MAUI on either iOS or Android.

It is enabled in the IDE settings:

And also shows as connected when running:

But when making a change to a XAML file, nothing happens. There are not errors coming up and I don't know where else next to look.


Solution

  • It looks like HotReload currently only works when the build configuration is set to "Debug". no other custom build configurations.
