Preview on real device without showing the canvas

I am using my real device and the Xcode Preview which works pretty fine. I do not want to show an empty canvas pane all the time. But when hiding the canvas, the preview pauses. I tried the refresh shortkey (OPT + CMD + P), too, while canvas is invisible.

Why must the canvas be visible even there is no content besides "Previewing on iPhone from..." Info?

I hope there is a workaround to hide the canvas while pushing to real devices.

Thank you for your post. Are you using Swift Playgrounds? What canvas are you referring to? Could you please provide an image of the canvas you are seeing when using real devices to deploy your app? This will help me understand what you are seeing and what you want to hide in the app.
