DrawnUi.Designer.Agent

Lets the DrawnUI Designer attach to a running DrawnUi app: it shows the app's screens, control tree and properties, edits them live and writes edits back into the app's C# code.

  • Debug builds only. Release builds get nothing: no reference, no startup hook, no DLL in the output.
  • Nothing to set up. DrawnUi packages that depend on it bring it along; referencing this package directly works too.
  • Idle until a designer connects. It only tries to reach the designer at one address, with a growing pause, and does no work in the app until then. One console line at start says where it waits.
  • Turn it off with the MSBuild property DrawnUiDesigner=false.

How it attaches:

App How
Windows (WPF, MAUI) startup hook in the app's runtimeconfig.json; connects to ws://127.0.0.1:54270
Android built into the app; connects to ws://127.0.0.1:54270, which the designer forwards over the USB cable
iPhone, iPad built into the app; waits on the USB cable (the phone's 127.0.0.1, port 54273 to 54282)
Mac Catalyst built into the app; connects to ws://127.0.0.1:54270, the designer on the same Mac

DrawnUiDesignerUrl (MSBuild property) points any of them at another designer address, passed unchanged.
