Description
Describe the bug
I am trying to add new Items based on configuration after the user open the app but the issue is I cannot see that the item is been added to the navigation view. The code I have now:
var item = AppDataUtilities.AddAppItem(appData);
navigationView.MenuItems.Add(item);
navigationView.UpdateLayout();
To Reproduce
Add NavigationViewItem during runtime, like event.
Expected behavior
NavigationView able to react the changes.
