Can't use Hot Design with bad internet.

[cyraid]

I don't have great internet, and I'm getting:

Uno.UI.HotDesign.Client.Logic.DevServer.RemoteControlService[0]
      DevServer isn't able to connect

I'm not sure how I like the idea of having uno need to contact the dev server everytime I need to run my debug app. Does that mean I can't work on my app with hot design offline?

If it needs internet every time, may I ask what is all tracked every time I use window.UseStudio();?

"Man this guy launches this app way too often"

This error message is not about your internet connection. When you open a uno solution in your IDE, we start a local small http server (referenced as "DevServer") that enables communication between your IDE and your running application (for hot-reload to update the application, hot-design to save changes back to your file system, etc.).

The window.UseStudio() will only enable that local connection so it will not block you if you are offline.

This error message could indicate that the dev-server is not running or is not reachable (firewall?). We will need to get more details to assist you:

1. Which IDE are you using (Visual Studio; Code; Rider)?
2. Which version of Uno are you using? If not the latest, please update :)
3. Could you please enable detailed logging (https://platform.uno/docs/articles/features/working-with-xaml-hot-reload.html?tabs=vswin%2Cwindows%2Cskia-desktop%2Ccommon-issues#troubleshooting) and send us the logs?

@dr1rrb Hi David, it started working again and I'm not sure what changed. It just started showing up but now doesn't seem to be giving me the error. If it happens again and I remember, I'll see if I can remember to add some deeper logging to get it for ya. But for now we can close this, thank you for looking into it (also I use Visual Studio 2022).
