It doesn’t work automatically for me on Ubuntu, but I always put that down to the app being delivered via an Appimage. Considering they’re supposed to be self contained deployments of the whole app I’m not sure how easy it would be to just change bits of it on the fly when some files are modified in development.

The great thing is though you’re usually not waiting on the latest update to fix something, instead they’re a nice surprise when new features are added.
