XAML Hot reload keeps stopping. What could be the issue?

Question

I recently started learning xamarin.forms and all was going well suddenly whenever I run an app, the XAML Hot reload will start and then stop. I have restarted my PC several times and even tried creating a new projects but the problem persists.

Answer 1

Another case might be you're using an old Xamarin project. If this is the case - it's worth [changing your Xaml Hot Reload Mode to 'full page mode'][1].

This, along with the 'Apply XAML Hot Reload on document save or via Hot Reload button' (which I'm not sure if had any effect or not) was what did the job for me.

Answer 2

I just restarted visual studio to get XAML hot reload working again.

Tips:

• Wait for VS background tasks to complete "status = ready" before lunching the debugging.
• When debugging is started, watch the below status bar to see "Initializing XAML hot reload" and "XAML hot reload connected" before playing with your XAML
