UWP Xbox dev mode caches deployed app

161 views Asked by At

I'm developing an Xbox app with a team of several developers and we have all experienced this scenario every day or so, where changes made to code aren't being deployed to the remote machine during debugging.

I'll make some code changes, then launch the app via Visual Studio to the "Remote Machine." The app launches, but I don't see the changes. If I inspect the XAML visual tree, areas of the app are highlighted on screen, but the tree reflects old XAML that I have since changed in the source.

When this happens, we go through various combinations of the following: restarting the console, manually uninstalling the app via the Xbox, leaving dev mode and launching it again. We've yet to stumble on the magic combo, but eventually after doing one or more of the above (usually more than once), the issue is resolved.

We're wasting a lot of our dev time dealing with this issue. Does anyone have any advice on how to avoid it or at least a faster way to reset things than restarting the console?
