I am making a unique tile to use with a plugin I’m working on. Since the tile doesn’t get added for a device until runtime how do you work with it in designer?
I’ve been publishing every time I make a change and need to see the result. Is there a way to keep in the designer and still see how this tile looks and reacts?

This is kind of confusing but I’ll take a stab at it…
You do know about this, correct? 
You do not need to publish every time (only when you want to push it out of Designer to an app). There are times when there’s no other way to see the actual result other than to start the runtime (like with device browsers), however, the tile itself should not look much different when editing it or when running. If it is, you may have something not right with your layout properties.
I have seen those and even have used them sometimes.
I did just find out how to display my tiles in debug.
Found this:
A little light reading and I’m good to go.
