When I make a change to the XAML of my project (say change the text in a label) the changes are reflected in the runnning app but if I re-run the app I get the old version of the file. If I build the App before I run it I get the new version. It seems that VS is not picking up the fact that a file has changed and it needs to rebuild, the Output (Build) window seems to confirm that as there is no mention of the Build just the Deployment. Even after closing and re-opening the project just pressing F5 gives me the old file, I have to hit build to get the new file.
Configuration manager is set to Build and Deploy for Debug.
I cant see anything obvious in Propject Properties
or Launch Profiles.
I have re-installed VS (Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 (64-bit) – Preview
Version 17.10.0 Preview 5.0)
I have logged out of OneDrive in case it was some sort of syncing problem.
I created a new vanilla MAUI app and that seems to work correctly which made me suppose that it was some kind of project setting causing this, so I looked at the project file, which seems to me (and I really have no clue about this but..) it looks a complete mess!! There are Includes, Removes and Updates everywhere, maby thats correct, I dont know.

I commented out everything that was directly related to my code but no difference. Tried deleting the .vs file, no difference.
Now at a brick wall. Any help is really appreciated
