Liveview with `dx` failing

[WilliamRagstad]

Problem

Setting up a new liveview project via dx does not work with dx serve, only cargo run.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

• dx new, selecting liveview
• dx serve fails with error: could not compile `mio` (lib) due to 44 previous errors
• cargo run works kind of:

2024-06-16T14:52:19.352765Z ERROR dioxus_cli_config: A library is trying to access the crate's configuration, but the dioxus CLI was not used to build the application.
Dioxus Liveview App started on http://127.0.0.1:8080
could not find hot reloading server at "@dioxusin", make sure it's running

Expected behavior

Running dx serve in a newly initialized Liveview project should successfully compile and host a web server and show:

Dioxus Liveview App started on http://127.0.0.1:8080

dx serve only autodetects the platform for desktop, web and fullstack projects. For liveview, you need to manually pass --desktop to the cli: dx serve --platform desktop
