Why is there no XAML view Designer in VISUAL STUDIO's WinUI3 project?

Question

I created a new WinUI3 project with VISUAL STUDIO 2022, but I can't find a XAML view designer like the WPF project. Is this a normal Microsoft design or a Bug? Does Microsoft have any information about this?

Hello @XB121,

Unforturnately Designer View is not supported for now in WinUI3 for XAML files. You can track its status on Github:
