feat: Restore debug tools in Settings page with conditional compilation by Copilot · Pull Request #1539 · unoplatform/uno.toolkit.ui

Feature

What is the current behavior?

Settings page replaced the debug panel overlay, losing access to visual tree inspection and visual state testing tools previously available via the Settings button.

What is the new behavior?

Debug tools integrated into Settings page, visible only in DEBUG builds via conditional compilation:

SettingsPage.xaml

Added "Debug Tools" section with x:Load="False", materialized only in DEBUG via FindName()
Two buttons: "Copy Visual Tree" (clipboard/console output) and "Test Visual State" (NavigationView state transitions)

SettingsPage.xaml.cs

SetShell(Shell) method receives Shell reference from App
Click handlers delegate to Shell methods, wrapped in #if DEBUG

Shell.xaml.cs

Public DebugCopyVisualTree() and DebugTestVisualState() expose existing private debug methods

App.xaml.Navigation.cs

Passes Shell reference to SettingsPage on instantiation

Zero impact on RELEASE builds—section never loads, handlers not compiled.

PR Checklist

Other information

Debug tools now more discoverable than previous overlay panel approach. Same functionality, better organization.

Pull request overview

This PR adds a Settings page to the Uno Toolkit Samples app that displays application metadata including version, framework, and platform information. The previous behavior (activating a debug panel) has been replaced with a user-facing settings page.

Changes:

Adds SettingsPage.xaml/cs with responsive layout displaying app metadata, version information, platform detection, and documentation links
Updates navigation logic in App.xaml.Navigation.cs to instantiate and cache the SettingsPage
Modifies build configuration to support Skia renderer conditionally through UnoFeatures
Updates CI/CD scripts to use native renderer for UI tests and adds build pipeline infrastructure improvements

build/workflow/copilot/restore-solution.sh

 set -euo pipefail

+# Create a desktop-only crosstargeting override for build pipelines
+cat > "src/crosstargeting_override.props" << 'EOF'


This file writes src/crosstargeting_override.props and the samples csproj auto-imports it if present. That can affect local builds after the script runs. Maybe consider scoping/cleanup or env-gated import no ?

This is a workaround until the devserver fixes a few things, it probably won't get merged as-is.

 	}
 #endif

 	private void OnNavigationItemInvoked(MUXC.NavigationView sender, MUXC.NavigationViewItemInvokedEventArgs e)


When Settings is invoked, any active nested sample overlay remains visible. Should we call ExitNestedSample() before swapping NavigationView.Content to settings?

good concern but no need,
"nested" navigation are shown full screen blocking the navigation-view completely, no way to click settings while in "nested" page
