Windows Universal App having to deploy before debugging

Question

If I make any changes to my Windows Universal App I have to manually deploy it before I'm able to debug. By that I mean the breakpoints won't be hit because it's out of sync with the symbols.

I have Visual Studio 2015 with all the latest updates.

Is this by design?

Is there anyway to force a deploy before doing a debug?

Answer 1

You can control which applications/projects are deployed in the configuration manager. Open the "configuration manager" from the "build" menu and check that your app is selected to be deployed.
