Question: does this framework support hot reload? #2

Like Flutter, NativeScript, ReactNative, Unity which doesn't have to wait long to recompile/test (unlike Xamarin and other native development).

Hello CrossMobile is native development so you still need to recompile the application (like all native solutions). And this is valid for all platforms. On top of that, it does its best to minimize compile time and not recompile everything, although unfortunately this can never come close to hot reload.

What you can do, to speed up development time, is to target the Desktop, where compiling there is extremely fast and it is almost as good as the mobile version (only web views are not properly shown yet, but this is a work in progress anyway).
