Wish Hotswap code with widget

[Multiverse app]

This has been bothering me for some time now. So almost all of my projects have widgets in them, and there is a very annoying thing that happens when I try to hot-swap the code (ctr+s) (when widgets are added to the home screen)-

The compiler again tries to create the xml file of the widget again, and so this error occurs. Now I have to recompile the whole project even for small changes, which takes more than 3-4 minutes if I'm working on a big project. Makes working very frustrating.

Would love a workaround for this in the next update of B4A.
Thank you!

Change the code to:

#If Release
rv = ConfigureHomeWidget(...)
#end if

Change the code to:

#If Release
rv = ConfigureHomeWidget(...)
#end if

aldready tried, throws this error in Debug mode-

Change the code to:

#If Release
rv = ConfigureHomeWidget(...)
#end if

Still facing the same issue, can't find solution anywhere

What do you have in your manifest editor?

Exclude anything related to the widget with:

#if Release
AddReceiverText(widgetservice, <intent-filter>
           <action android:name="android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE_OPTIONS" />
           </intent-filter>)
CreateResource(xml, widgetservice_info.xml,
<appwidget-provider xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:minWidth="140dp"
   android:minHeight="120dp"
   android:initialLayout="@layout/widgetservice_layout"
   android:updatePeriodMillis="12334" />
)
#end if

Hi Erel,
I do not have any widget related code in the Manifest.
But, I edited "vr_widget_layout.xml" in \Objects\res\xml to avoid scaling issues, as described here.

Remove the file and add it with CreateResource as I did in the previous post.
