Description

Describe the feature you'd like

As front-end engineers working on macos, we absolutely need hot reload to build our UIs for ios/android in Vscode.
With the retirement of Visual studio for mac in August 2024, we are going to lose a major development experience tool.
We just cannot develop a UI effectively without seeing changes in realtime, on several emulators at the same time.

Alternatives considered

Using Visual studio for mac until august 2024.

Environment Information
  • MacOS
  • Vscode
  • .NET MAui v0.8.3
