Affected platform version

All

Description

Set $(UseInterpreter) to True by default for debug builds of apps.

Enabling the interpreter will also enable some AOT compilation on at least some platforms, which might mean the build performance gets worse.

This needs testing to get decent perf numbers, and it's a bit late for .NET 6, so I'm postponing to .NET 7.

This is required for Hot Restart for iOS from windows correct?

[jamesmontemagno]

And Hot reload of C# code as well correct?

The flag was removed form the templates in RC 2....
