As much as I like the new interface I wont be using it any time soon. I have invested too much time, effort and have too many apps using the Firebase RTDB to just abandon it now. I know there are workarounds discussed above but unless proper support for this is added I dont see how I can use it. As developers I thought it was up to us what tools we used. Good job and a huge step in the right direction but it feels rather unfinished to me.

Cheers

Bob

I’m quite mystified by the new Design tab. It seems as though all the layout features like Row, Column, Grid, etc. have disappeared. Perhaps Group is meant to take their place, but I can’t figure out how it works, and the tutorial “?” is a dead link.  
I love that now each screen has an orientation feature (portrait, landscape, and auto), but the screen display GUI shows only a “portrait” orientation. For apps built to run “landscape” (exclusively or on auto) it’s really difficult plan the look of each screen without a “landscape” orientation GUI as well. Is that coming?  
Layout features need to control alignment and font size scaling so these choices are sensitive to orientation. My grid-style layout that looks fine in portrait orientation has horizontally stretched text and uncentered margins in landscape orientation.  
Can I switch my project back to the older version of the design tab?

in the new ui you dont need rows and columns because you can position the components anywhere you want

In a way, you are correct @luv.ak.tech but many cloning techniques depends on the availability of row / column which cannot be done in the new UI.

…and in the new UI there is no way to create a custom dataviewer (the “go back to the old version” workaround SUCKS).
