Is there any way that can be used to debug the UWP webview XBOX app on Local Machine?

Question

I'm currently trying to build an UWP WebView app for XBOX using the source URL of my web page. On chrome and edge browser all the UI are working as expected but when I run it on XBOX I'm facing a lot of UI issues.

Is there anyway that can be used to debug the XBOX UWP WebView such that we can make some changes while the app is running on Local Machine.

So that the same changes can be done in my stylings.

I'm building the UWP app using x64.

Currently I'm using Visual Studio 2022 for creating the UWP app using C#.

Thanks for your help. Happy coding.

Currently the Webview2 control is only available on Xbox in preview. You need to have added a special nuget package, which also has to be deployed to the xbox you are using. There are a lot of steps for getting debug to work. You have to use Edge not Chrome on your pc.

Webview2 is the only way I know to be able to use debug. I am fairly certain you cannot debug with webview control.
