Hot Restart not working in VS 2026

Hot Restart was amazing. Best way to quickly test UI on physical devices. Much faster than android and a lot more reliable than using Mac host in my experience..

Seemed like it was very stable and hadn't been broken for me in a long time..
Does any one know why it was removed from VS 2026?

That's a real good point... Im also using Hot Restart and found it pretty useful. That's mainly why Im still on VS 2022 and will not update to 2026 for a while. It also gives me the possibility to test the app on a real device for things like the camera, wifi, bluetooth etc... I would love to have it back in VS 2026
