The XAML Live Preview feature in Visual Studio 2022 version 17.14 introduces a significant usability improvement for .NET MAUI projects: the XAML Live Preview window is now available during design time, eliminating the requirement to initiate a debug session.

With this release, you can open the XAML Live Preview window directly during design time. This allows you to see changes in your app UI in real-time. You can also use Hot Reload and other live UI tools in this way, ensuring a seamless workflow, improving iteration speed, and reducing context switching.To open it, go to Debug > Windows > XAML Live Preview.The XAML Live Preview window supports: Element selection for navigating to source XAML.

Docking within the IDE for persistent visibility..NET MAUI Support for Android TargetsIn addition to Windows, XAML Live Preview also supports rendering of Android devices and emulators. This allows developers to validate UI changes across platforms, providing a high-fidelity design-time experience that ensures consistency across devices.GitHub Copilot and Vision SupportTake your UI design to the next level with XAML Live Preview and GitHub Copilot, supporting both manual and AI-assisted XAML authoring.
