Why is MAUI hot reload in Rider 2023.2 not working?
I've updated Rider to 2023.2, opened a .NET 7 MAUI project, launched it in debug mode and changed a label text in XAML file, then saved the file. According to XAML Hot Reload for MAUI and What does Hot Reload do, the editor should display a line informing that sources are modified and a link to apply changes. But nothing like this appeared in my editor and the label in the launched app didn't change.
In Rider settings, all options in "Build, Execution, Deployment" > "Hot Reload" are checked.
Is there anything other to do to have the hot reload working?

Would you mind sharing additional information?
Thank you in advance and have a nice day!
Hi,
My OS is Windows 10 and I debug only on Windows so far.
Steps to replicate: open Visual Studio 2022 on Windows 10, create new solution from .NET MAUI App template with .NET 7.0 framework, close Visual Studio, open Rider and load the solution, click the "Debug" button, see the welcome page of the running app, open MainPage.xaml file, change the label with "Hello World!" text and save, notice that the label was not changed in the running app and nothing like "Apply changes" appeared in the editor.
By the way, I am creating the solution in VS because in Rider I have only .NET 8 as framework for the MAUI and can't change the framework.
